Symbiotic Skin

How might we foster a sense of connectedness to natural environments through interactive art?

Asbestos, Absent

How can we tell a meaningful story through data visualisation?

Division & Dusk

How can data visualisation be made physical, and can this help people to engage with data in new ways?

Cause & Effect

What does it mean to make data tangible?

INVENTory Posters

How can we use visual communication to revitalise a neglected space, while opening up this space to new audiences, patrons and young people?
