Wanton Boys (2017 - )
Custom-written software, customised Raspberry Pi computers, projectors, plaster blocks (Goldsmiths, SLEEPCENTER, Eden Project only)
Wanton Boys is an ongoing series (2017 - ) of digital installations about containers and the contained. It uses custom-made videogame and projection mapping software to create an illusion that virtual creatures are not only living but also bound within physical structures. Wanton Boys is not a pre-recorded video. It is a live, site-responsive performance that never repeats itself and constantly changes.
