RESEARCH & CREATIVE PROJECTS
| 2024 - 2025 | Awe in Immersive Art for Societal Transformation With University of Oxford (UK), Aalto University (FI), Leiden University (NL), RMIT (AU/ES), Dutch National Opera & Ballet, Opera Forward Festival (NL), International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, DocLab (NL), ZEMOS98 (ES) $163,000 (€100,000) - Dutch Research Council (NWO) - Pilot Network Development Towards Europe Immersive art increasingly envelops audiences through new embodied experiences that integrate multisensory interactions and more-than-human collaborations with algorithmic and multispecies mediators. This experimental and network development project brings together experts in art, design, psychology, digital humanities, and cultural mediation across Europe to explore how awe-experiences materialise in immersive art, and how they can be extended towards societal transformation, through engagement design and cultural mediation. The project forms new grounds for transdisciplinary creative practice, research, and collaboration.  |
| 2024 - 2024 | Awe-full Change: How Creative Practices Evoke Transformation through Awe $83,345 (€50,000) - Centre of Expertise in Creative Innovation How can we approach and integrate experiences of ‘awe’ in emerging forms of art and design that aim to evoke societal transformations? In collaboration with Academy of Theatre and Dance (Amsterdam University of the Arts). Psychologie voor een Duurzame Stad (Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences), Affect Lab, Baltan Laboratories, and Prospektor, this project explores how awe is materialised in transformative creative practices and how it can be extended towards collective change.  |
| 2020 - 2022 | CreaTures: Creative Practices for Transformational Futures $4,815,500 (€2,994,315) - EU Horizon 2020 CreaTures brings together 11 European partners including universities and research centres, NGOs and creative art and design organisations. Creative practice has already demonstrated transformational potential in the area of social cohesion and environmental citizenship, but it is often fragmented, poorly resourced and badly understood. The CreaTures project focuses on collaboration, reflection and direct engagement as keys to transformation demonstrating the power of the creative practices to move the world towards ecologically and socially sustainable futures. CreaTures aims to produce an open-access framework to support practitioners and policy-makers in guiding positive change coalescing three interconnected efforts: An Observatory, identifying and mapping existing, fragmented and often hidden transformational creative practices; a Laboratory, supporting new experimentation and direct engagement with diverse stakeholders, including members of the public, by mounting several different scales and types of creative production, and; an Evaluation phase, testing new and existing creative practices in a systematic and concerted way for their impact.  |
| 2020 - 2022 | Three-Tier Garden: More-than-Human Choreographies in the Post-COVID City $33,500 (€20,000) - Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie This COVID-19 design response project addresses fractures caused by the pandemic such as prolonged physical and social isolation, unexpected loss of kins’ lives, disturbed sense of normality, and loss of economic and social stability. It takes place at the community garden at Het O-tje, an artist-led housing, and explores design opportunities for individual and collective post-traumatic growth by strengthening the sense of belonging and grounding through "mutual choreographies": how the garden and the gardeners, continue to shape each other’s movement direction and quality through care-full and participatory design of the temporal and socio-spatial infrastructures of the garden. The design recognises the criticality of negotiating the various time scales involved in these movements and the uses of the garden and thus frames it in three temporal tiers of Temporary, Semi-permanent, and Permanent.  |
| 2020 - 2022 | Polyphonic/Melodic Motions With Fog Theatre $125,000 - Australian Council for the Arts & Department of Social Services This somaesthetics-driven project co-creates with artists from Fog Theatre in Melbourne an interactive platform for real-time kinetic audiovisual performance by artists with intellectual disability. Melodic Motions, funded by the Department of Social Services ($50,000), challenges existing technologies that demand adherence to standardised motions, and instead creatively embrace involuntary movements and unique differences in motor skills and coordination, aided by machine learning. Polyphonic Motions, funded by Australian Council for the Arts ($50,000), focuses on enabling possibilities for real-time collaboration, further exploring participatory and engagement opportunities with diverse artists and audiences.  |
| 2020 - 2022 | Open Forest Open Forest is a collective, experimental inquiry into different forests and more-than-human dataflows. The project explores how forests and forest data can be produced, thought of and engaged with otherwise, in co-creative ways that consider perspectives of diverse forest creatures and reach beyond techno-solutionist perspectives. The Open Forest activities are distributed across different locations, including Finland, Australia, the Czech Republic and Colombia. The project has been initiated and grown by the Open Forest Collective: a multi-disciplinary group of forest-curious researchers and creative practitioners experimenting with participatory, co-creative approaches to engaging with more-than-human futures.  |
| 2020 - 2022 | Weaving Data How can we challenge the legitimate, normative, mainstream, always-already, existing data to see and demand data otherwise? This project, conducted in collaboration with A.Prof Andrea Botero (Aalto University) explores other-ways of living with data, or feral data, that might help us imagine many different more-than-human futures centred on social and ecological justice and care. Our inquiry mobilises the experiences, artefacts, and expressions of data by expert indigenous weavers in Tabanoc (Colombia) and Gunditjmara Country (Australia) respectively.  |
| 2020 - 2022 | Secret Project This experimental interactive work invites people to meditate on, feel, and share their connection with their surroundings and one another. Their contributions become part of a growing digital body of collective voices from different places around the world and integrated recursively and in real time into an evolving more-than-human soundscape, which can be experienced online or in an immersive installation environment.  |
| 2020 - 2022 | Feral Map Feral Map is an open online map that brings together different creative practices questioning the dominant extractive, technocentric rendering and legitimising of particular algorithmic futures. Building on its initial development drawn upon Melbourne Urban Forest data (as part of the More-than-Human Dérive project), it invites people to engage with their surroundings in creative, unfamiliar ways and share their experiences in the form of stories, using different kinds of media, sensory impressions, and personal expressions. The Feral Map has been evolving to entangle with such stories or messy data from different creative projects, including Open Forest and Secret Project).  |
| 2021 - 2022 | More-than-Human Dérive $6,000 - City of Melbourne More-than-Human Dérive engages people in playful ways of driftsensing and listening to the ‘voices’ and perspectives of urban forests and other-than-human creatures. Through unexpected encounters it provides, we can augment sensing and knowing what surrounds us, and explore new ways of mapping with expanded, multisensory ideas of data. The initial version of drew upon Urban Forest open data maintained by the City of Melbourne. It continues to evolve through collaboration with other like-minded creatures from Aalto University, Finland, to entangle with Open Forest (a participatory artwork performing an experimental inquiry into different forests and forest data-sets, including Hyytiälä, a historical forestry station north of Helsinki). Both projects are supported by the Eu Horizon 2020 CreaTures project.  |
| 2019 - 2020 | Co-designing the Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) Support $27,000 - Brotherhood of St. Laurence There are various challenges currently being experienced by families and practitioners in the implementation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme’s (NDIS), Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) program for young children with a developmental delay or disability, and their families. In partnership with Brotherhood of St. Laurence, a major not-for-profit organisation delivering services and advocating for people who faces, or is at risk of, disadvantage and poverty, this project applies co-creative methods of research and practice to explore how we might co-imagine better services for the assessment of support needs and goal-setting procedures.  |

| 2017 - 2017 | #iamnotaselfie KAIST (Korea), Keio University (Japan), Brain Korea 21 Fund Many women face ongoing pressure to embody beauty ideals, which involves significant economic consequences, as well as emotional and physical risks. There is limited systematic care and support to ensure their health and wellbeing or sociocultural, economic, and political empowerment. How might we bring together technological, design, and sociocultural possibilities to empower women? This project began in South Korea, which has reputation as the plastic surgery capital of the world, which tells many stories about contemporary Korea, and the pressures Korean women face. In Korea we have begun exploring online selfie culture among women, creating #iamnotaselfie in order to empower women to challenge expectations and ideals, and create more positive selfhood, together with women participants, as well as researchers in digital media, design, data science, and neuroscience. A follow-up study took place in Japan. Our next steps include expanding this project across other parts of Asia.  |
