It was so rewarding to see such playful, thoughtful and animated interactions with the audio installation I co-created with @englandrp for the launch of @LBObjects. Visitors explored spatialised audio recordings of the human body through their movement across an abstract artwork.
A collage of people wearing headphones and moving around an abstract artwork on the floor that represents the human body. The space is lit with highly saturated colours.

In a meeting today with @UniversityLeeds VC we asked again that @ucu strike deductions be spread, given the huge goodwill staff are showing and how hard we're all working to change everything for the #COVID19 crisis. But he said no, that was not a line he was prepared to cross.

First images of my 'virtual archive' project installed as part of the Sorrow of Liberation exhibition @kampwesterbork. The project brings together survivor testimony with the modern day audio-visual experience of Bergen-Belsen. @LeedsUniMedia @UniLeedsImmerse

The exhibition tells liberation stories from the perspective of the survivors and this project allows visitors to @kampwesterbork to listen to survivor testimony whilst encountering an experience of modern day Bergen-Belsen, where little physical evidence of the genocide remains.
