The Performance of Creative Machines

Cybernetic and robotic agents have long played an instrumental role in the production of ‘machine creativity’ as a cultural discourse. This paper traces the cultural legacy of the performance of automata and discusses historical and contemporary works to explore machine creativity as a cultural, bodily practice. Creative machines are explored as performers, capable to expand the script they are given by their human creator and skillful in bidding for the audience’s attention

Accomplice

Accomplice is a large-scale robotic installation that embeds a group of autonomous robots into the walls of the gallery. The work nestles itself into our human environment and turns it into a playground for a colony of curious, social machines. In this mingling of wall and machine, the walls become the milieu for the machines to develop and express their desires

The Claze; Time to be friends

Design and artwork for Cornish folk outfit The Claze. Their second full album ‘Time to be friends’ was recorded over a number of months in early 2016. I was commissioned to design the artwork for the cover, and was also invited to contribute guitar parts to a number of the tracks. The work has gone on to be part of the BBC Introducing series, and they have received regular airplay on BBC Radio 2

Feeling my way: tactility, text and biography in Pick me up

This paper will consider books as material objects from an aesthetic, textural perspective. The case study will be Atlantic Press Books and, in particular, my chapbook Pick me up, produced in collaboration with illustrator Harriet Lee Merrion, (forthcoming, April 2014, Atlantic Press Books). In ‘Agency, biography and objects’, Janet Hoskins suggests that: ‘In certain contexts, people can seem to take on the attributes of things and things can seem to act almost as persons’. She adds that, ‘Within this framework, things can be said to have biographies.’ (Hoskins, p74, 2013) The attribution of literary characteristics to non-literary object-texts is a counterpoint to the erosion of textural textuality in a digital age. Biographies in this sense tell two stories, and discourse analysis is aligned equally with the words on the page and the material culture and alternate aesthetic account. This paper constitutes part of my PhD research. I am studying part time at Stirling University and my PhD is entitled: Writing Culture and Cultural Value: Ethnographies of Contemporary Publishing (1996-2016)

On a Knife Edge

On a Knife Edge is the coming of age story of a teenage Lakota boy, George Dull Knife guided by his father, growing up in the poorest district of the United States but born into a family rich in culture and tradition, a family that five generations back led their tribe. It's been a 6 year [and counting] labour of love project and has developed organically. The film follows George as he becomes involved in the American Indian Movement [AIM] and takes to the streets to protest alcohol and other injustices his tribe face. Across the years we spend time at home, school, out in Pine Ridge with his father, and follow him out on the protest trail, all of which leads him ultimately to Standing Rock and the protests there against the oil pipeline, via White Clay and Wounded Knee. The film is Directed by Jeremy Williams [Ghosts of the 7th Cavalry, Orphans of Burma's Cyclone], produced by Eli Cane [Land Rush, Market Maker] of Normal Life Pictures, photography by Steve Robinson [Amish: A Secret Life] and it is edited by Nick Fenton [The Arbor, The Selfish Giant, Submarine]. The doc is funded by ITVS, Vision Maker, Gucci TriBeCa Doc Fund, South Dakota Humanities & Nebraska Humanities Councils and is a co-production between Normal Life Pictures and 24 Frames Per Second Films
