Having come to the end of the self directed programme I set out to complete for the a-n professional development bursary here are some reflections and outcomes.
I am pleased to have had the time to research and learn new digital processes. As well as learning new skills, this has resulted in the development of a platform that I can use to project ‘feedback loops’ from live 3d depth maps as part of performances and exhibitions. I was able to test this system at two events during this time. Many thanks to Grasslands and Bedlam for providing these opportunities. This was also possible to due to hardware, software and tutorials I was able to access through the funding from a-n. I found the mentoring element (thanks Hellocatfood) particularly useful in terms of providing feedback a critical time, references and the opportunity to meet practitioners relevant to the current direction of my work. These elements combined have helped to make collaborations and interactions with other artists (and spaces) more achievable. I hope to be completing further related projects in the near future.
