𝒮𝐿𝐼𝑀𝐸 𝒞𝐼𝒯𝒴 3D printed mask grown from a 𝓟𝓱𝔂𝓼𝓪𝓻𝓾𝓶 𝓟𝓸𝓵𝔂𝓬𝓮𝓹𝓱𝓪𝓵𝓾𝓶 algorithm written in Python for Blender. SLIME CITY is an ongoing anti-facial recognition research project straddling the physical and the science-fictional. The work is an interrogation of the surveillance state we exist within, an attempt to disrupt the unconsensual recording and storing of our biometric data on a daily basis. This current prototype exists as a 3D printed custom head covering crafted by slime mold. It is a speculative interspecies collaboration; through becoming one, both human and slime transcend their physical boundaries to become undetectable in heavily surveilled society. #DigitalSculpture #BioArt #PhysarumPolycephalum #PythonProgramming #Blender3D

stole a star from the spaghetti monster himself and made myself a crown 🌠 more exploring/playing/discovering in @touchdesigner with MediaPipe, so much fun star drawn by Alexander Alien #touchdesigner #mediapipe #proceduralfun

your weekly dose of slimey goodness. more experiments with GLSL shaders, displacement, colour and Media Pipe in TouchDesigner. yummy scrummy edible explosions ⭒-.⋆🪼⋆.-⭒🪼ᯓଳᯓᡣ𐭩🧪-ˋˏ✄- - - - - - - ♡⁠ #touchdesigner #glsl #mediapipe

looking slightly hectic figuring out my slimey GLSL with media pipe in @touchdesigner . some crunchy sound snippets waiting to be turned into a love poem... just you wait #touchdesigner #glsl #mediapipe

I’m incredibly excited to be one of four established artists leading the Young Digital Cohort programme at @thebritishmuseum working with young creatives as they explore digital technologies and develop new approaches to making and thinking through the Museum’s collections. Participants will engage with practices such as 3D modelling, image mapping, XR, VR painting and creative coding, using the collection as raw material for new digital artworks. At the heart of the programme are questions the Museum is actively grappling with: How do we archive digital work in meaningful ways? What does it mean to reinterpret historical objects today? How can collections be reimagined through contemporary digital practices? My contribution focuses on XR, world-building and immersive environments, supporting the development of work that moves between physical and digital space. This is an ambitious and forward-thinking programme from an institution of this scale, and an exciting moment to be part of it! I am very excited to be working alongside Jade Pughe, Joel Gethin Lewis and Fran Hayes. Thank you to Karl Murphy and the team for the opportunity. *Applications now closed*

SEAGER gallery presents a group exhibition Bestia Mirabilis . Participating artists are Nikita Andrejev, Olivia Mieke Maria-Paulina Martha, Jake Bond, Rachel Barlow, Viviana Hayeong Jeon, Yilina Yang, and Fran Hayes. The exhibition opens a portal into an imagined ecosystem shaped by abstract, surreal, and organic forms. Drawing on the language of ethereal growth, mutation, and universal natural structures, the artists create works that feel both familiar and alien. Their practices evoke a world where organic forms evolve beyond the limits of the known, revealing strange and mesmerising shapes that exist somewhere between the natural and the otherworldly. Working across painting, sculpture, and digital media, the artists use abstraction and elements of surrealism to build a visual terrain where shape, texture, and colour become the building blocks of a speculative environment. Within the gallery, these forms extend beyond individual artworks, unfolding into an immersive installation that blurs the boundary between object and space. The exhibition becomes a landscape — a living environment that invites viewers to step inside, wander, and encounter its strange inhabitants. At its core, Bestia Mirabilis reflects on the beauty of the unfamiliar. Through formal exploration and organic abstraction, the exhibition proposes a meeting point between the material and the spiritual — a place where the visible world opens onto something more elusive, and where the boundary between reality and imagination begins to dissolve. Bestia Mirabilis unfolds through a series of live events that expand its world beyond the visual. On 19 March, a group of poets will share the key to the ethereal world, featuring George Prigov, Fran Hayes, Karl Murphy, Lily Stevens, and Ruohui Zhang. 27 March is a Philosophy Night, inviting reflection on the ideas of art and creativity, as well as human response to that medium.
