Had a great day running workshops in Lincoln yesterday – exploring activism, demystifying XR, and thinking about how technology can be used to build empathy and connection.
These sessions are part of our work for Reimagining Lincolnshire, a public heritage project uncovering the untold stories that have shaped the county’s identity, celebrating the voices, places, and histories that are often overlooked.
A preview of The People's Market AR trail will be part of Lincoln Festival of History this upcoming bank holiday weekend. Reveal virtual market stalls that explore the hidden stories of everyday change and activism in Lincoln

The beautiful badge designs made by participants at our workshop at @frequencyfestival in Lincoln a couple of weeks ago.
Using badge-making as a creative tool we explored everyday activism, opening up conversations about the issues people care about most. The designs are going to be used as part of a wider experience looking at the history of activism in Lincolnshire.
Today we're in Lincoln for @frequencyfestival making badges on the theme of everyday activism for our new AR project The People's Market, a commission from Reimagining Lincolnshire which explores causes and issues that have mattered to people in the past and today ✊
Coming soon to Copenhagen! 🇩🇰 Coded Black has been selected for INTER:ACTIVE – part of the @cphdox documentary festival – an exhibition that probes the intersection of creativity and technology, exploring how emerging technologies are reshaping art and society.
This year's exhibition is titled HYPERVIGILANCE.
Curatorial statement by Mark Atkin:
In an age of digital saturation, global unrest, and pervasive surveillance, artists are increasingly exploring the cultural and psychological state of hypervigilance that seems to define our era. The works in this year’s INTER:ACTIVE Exhibition expose the collective anxiety of a society on high alert, where we struggle to retain agency over our image, body, and voice. For queer, disabled, and displaced communities, this state of watchfulness is deeply ingrained, a survival instinct in a world built on scrutiny and exclusion. For others, it has become the new norm shaped by 24-hour news cycles, extractive capitalism, authoritarian violence, and the pressure to conform in a world where we’re always being watched.
The artists in HYPERVIGILANCE expose and reconfigure these conditions allowing us to take back control through activism, sexual expression, defiance, and artistic invention. Across immersive experiences and multisensory installations, HYPERVIGILANCE transforms this psychological unease into aesthetic inquiry, taking us from anxiety to agency, capturing both the disquiet of the present and the human drive toward reconnection.
