I am currently writing my MA (Digital Media Arts) My interest concerns the impact of powerlessness on the human spirit and I am exploring the use of emergent technologies within digital media arts as to construct new social spatialities that empower those that inhabit or pass through them.
I am revisiting the concept of the liminal space but situating this at the cutting edge intersection of art, science and technology.
For my practice I am working with mental health service users to design a "patients chair" that empowers all those that sit in it. This will feature robotics and interactive aspects and work as a public installation.
