Experiment 01
This is a video showing my initial experiment for my most recent interactive installation: ‘Potential Energy’…
Using a 12 volt power supply I send short bursts of current through the Actuator Motor - I wanted to see whether this rapid jolt would be strong enough to force the spring loaded hinge to smack the base of the galvanised chain and create an organic wave movement...

New Kids on the Block
Yo, it’s Nicola here. Me and Phil are like totally making a Büdchen for your enjoyment and beer drinking pleasure and you are invited to come visit and play in December. So far we are basically making lists and collecting cardboard. We don’t have a car, so we pretty much grab what we can and chuck it in the studio when we are passing by. Phil is also painting signs and I am drawing...
