The Laboratory of Psychical Research sound installation was created by Aleksander Kolkowski, kitt price and Laurence Cliffe. It was produced especially for the Media of Mediumship research project as part of the Being Human Festival 2021, hosted in partnership with Senate House Library. The Court Room at Senate House, University of London, played host to a reimagining of The National Laboratory of Psychical Research established in 1926 at UCL by Harry Price, psychic investigator.

Working in collaboration with Chronic Insanity immersive theatre company, a prototype cross-platform voice controlled mobile application was developed in order to aid the further development of a voice controlled, non-linear interactive and immersive audio experience. The prototype Unity application utilises the native speech-to-text capabilities of the iOS and Android mobile operating systems (depending upon the deployed device) in order to recognise user speech as an input that determines the user’s trajectory through the program’s logic…. read more

This project involved extensive research into the historical relationships between colour and musical frequencies along with practical experiments converting musical performances into vibrations from tactile transducers and vibrational motors. A Max patch was designed that enabled the audio signal captured from a microphone, or the playback of a pre-recorded piece of music, to be interpreted through light and vibration. The Max patch converted the frequencies of the audio signals into PWM values and colour codes… read more

Horror-Fi Me invites listeners to enter into and become composers of their own interactive horror movie soundscape, a real-time cinematic experience that entices exploration and promises both intrigue and suspense – the creation of a filmic experience where reality is the screen. Horror-Fi Me has been developed using mobile augmented reality (AR) technology and dynamic binaural spatialised audio to render a realistic audio augmented reality soundscape within almost any real world environment. Horror-Fi Me works… read more
As an intermedia artist and creative technologist, I have worked for a variety of different institutions, companies, agencies, individuals and organisations. My practice-based research explores past and present futures, working with sound, open source hardware and software, radio transmissions, live data and custom digital processing techniques it seeks to exploit both emerging and near-obsolete technologies in order to create visual and sonic artworks that challenge popular aesthetics. Influenced by fields including cybernetics, artificial intelligence and science fiction, the resultant works are often realised by exploiting a technology's perceived failings in order to expose otherwise hidden content, or to generate initially indeterminate output that can be used as a foundation for further research and exploration. I am currently a research fellow based at the University of Nottingham's Mixed Reality Laboratory.
