Projects
Created a Digital Narrative and Interactive Experience in Snap Lens tailored for young children to teach them about cross-pollination.
Our objective was to craft an immersive AR card game that would help children understand the different kinds of flowers pollinators like to pollinate.
- Showcased at the Snapchat x Royal College of Art Symposium at the Battersea RCA Rausing Building.
Will We Disappear in the Cover of the Sky? is about the current landscape of avian ecology in the UK. The experimental film invites visitors to traverse different landscapes, from an urban park to the higher altitudes of open skies. A more-than-human perspective emerges as a starling narrates an account of the challenges brought about by rapidly growing human activities, especially a change in starlings’ wayfinding, nesting, and foraging opportunities.
- Showcased at Outernet: Now Building, Pop One Space.
The Secret Garden is an AR experience that invites the audience to visit a hidden garden that only comes to life in extended reality. It is the first chapter of a series that encourages the flourishing of starlings by translating bird behavior to humans through immersive technologies.
