Title: Animacules (Round)

Details: Interactive shadow driven variation on Animacules.

We brought the animacules to a special summer event at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-Disability in Putney with the Joy of Sound organisation. It was the hottest day of the year and several wheelchair bound patients, their carers and family members enjoyed relaxing in a tent full of dancing shadow hugging creatures.

Title: Its Alive

Details: Interactive variation on Its Alive driven by torch.

A group show in an abandoned WW2 bunker beneath Dalston. After mopping the space out for a day we installed our piece which invited the audience to draw pixellated explosions across a wall. The explosions mainly faded but sometimes flooded the room in dramatic light. The piece suited the contained menacing space and is documented on our residency blog

Title: Growth Lines

Details: Interactive Growth Lines driven by shadows.

We projected a series of interactive lines into a church alcove at short notice for Joy Of Sound's inclusive art and music event in Vauxhall. There were many interesting happenings and diversions and hopefully we contributed something different. On the third day the space was bombarded by children as can be seen on the video page.

This group show in Bexhill, was organised by the Red Velvet Curtain Cult. It was a great success with hundreds of people on the night playing with Growth Line; a smoothly interactive line which the audience can impregnate with spiders.

Title: Mother: The Seasons

Details: Non interactive video installation featuring a seasonal variation of Mother

This was our most successful show to date; we won a prize for best newcomer and also sold a copy of the work as software to be run on a home computer.

Title: Super Squirt

Details: Interactive video installation where people's shadows triggered a colony of Squirts

This enjoyable event of film, art and dance was organised by Rotoreliefs over one day at the Vibe Bar. Super Squirt disgusted and then delighted the crowd, with its intuitive shadow play resulting in some graphic interactions.

Title: Animacules

Details: Portable projections

We took part in a playful night of interaction in Peckham organised by the Collision team. The event was small but perfectly formed. We experimented with a micro projector and managed to run on batteries for a couple of hours projecting our Animacules onto objects, art and people.

Title: Cecaelia

Details: Digital Print

The Nunhead Open is a small local community show organised by The Surgery that we always contribute something towards. This year we entered a small ornate print that reminded us of the half-octopus half-female mythological creature called Cecaelia.

Title: Mother

Details: Interactive video installation of Mother which subtly responded to motion.

This was a group show of the AA2A resident artists at Camberwell. In her six months Nicola developed this everchanging circular swirling mass of limbs and entrails, both aquatic and human. The work was named after the Greek God Echidna or "Mother of all Monsters".

Title: Mother

Details: Interactive video installation

This was the first public outing for Mother. Presented at the Bargehouse, a dilapidated warehouse on the South Bank, organised by Submit2Gravity. Mother was at the very end of the attic space, the last thing you saw in the show. It looked like a moon in the distance.

Title: The Glob

Details: Digital print

This was an early prototype of what later became Mother. It was part of a fun show organised by the Camberwell Digital Art Students below a local coffee shop.

Title: Animacules

Details: Interactive video installation featuring the Animacules

When the audience shone torches at a blank wall in the Jago Gallery, animacules would appear, attracted by the light. As the wall 'heated up' the creatures became more exotic. This show was organised by Rita Parente of Submit2Gravity.

Details: Digital Prints

We showed two prints (here combined) of early versions of the animacules at this local community show. They tucked them round the back so as not to frighten the kids.

Title: Sea Squirts

Details: Touch screen interactive video installation of the Squirts

This was an exciting three day festival of Film + Art + Sound in a Peckham warehouse. Collision asked us to build a large touch screen interaction in the entry hall. The Sea Squirts provided a gruesome introduction to the event.

Title: Starfish

Details: Huge motion detecting interactive video installation of the Starfish

This two day event helped relaunch Medialab's London branch. We managed to get the starfish about 20 foot across - like something out of a 50's horror film!

Title: The Starfish & the Urchin

Details: Two interactive video installation the Starfish triggered by motion and the Urchin by torch-light.

Electric Blue was a large group show in central London curated by Submit2Gravity. Each floor of the Bargehouse housed a collection of mixed media work including kinetic and sound installations, performance art and images that tricked the eye. The show aimed to intrigue art lovers from all backgrounds.

At our first major show we pitted the starfish and the urchin against each other in a perverse dance macabre.

Title: Test Pieces

Details: Video installation

A chance for us to test out some ideas in an abandoned warehouse. Although not fully interactive the tests proved valuable insights into the levels of disgust we could possibly raise.
