FRAMERATE: Desert Pulse is a portrait of Phoenix and the Sonoran Desert: a flood of precisely engineered pointcloud poetry - data driven and crafted with intuition. It is our record, our response, and our invitation to bear witness to this landscape, and to the natural and human processes that challenge and sustain life here.

The work operates as both mirror and microscope. We move through time via repetition, frequency and speed; with detail and perspective we journey through space. At moments we shrink to the scale of an insect, at others we drift like clouds. These shifting vantage points expose and hold space for multiple truths: about our species’ devastating impact and wonderful creativity, and about the resilience and ingenuity of the natural world.

In the space between a saguaro’s century-slow growth and an explosive Echinopsis bloom, between ancient aquifers and tomorrow’s suburbs in America’s hottest city, we see the Sonoran Desert alive and dense with adaptation. We see repeating human issues that unfold in our FRAMERATE works created at home and around the world. We are a part of this rhythm. We contribute to the cacophony, we are in sync, and we catastrophically collide with the beating pulse of our planet.

The Dreamlife of Driverless Cars weaves a 3D laser scanner through the streets of London in search of how driverless vehicles might perceive - and misperceive - the world.

As the scanner moves through the city, slowing for speed bumps and stopping in traffic, the city map created warps and extends depending on the speed at which we move. Stuck in traffic a routemaster bus becomes an elongated, narrow corridor, broken only by the shadow of a passing cyclist. Turning the corner into parliament square duplicates Big Ben as we observe the tower for a second time.

The Dreamlife of Driverless Cars was originally published in the New York Times Magazine (print + web) as images and a short film. The work has since been shown around the world including alongside James Corner as part of ‘Cartographies of the Future’ at The Building Centre, London, 2019.

Post-lenticular Landscapes is a re-enactment of the early photographic expeditions of Watkins, Weed, Muybridge and Adams into Yosemite National Park. Our expedition, in Summer 2016, was not equipped with cameras but instead with the latest terrestrial laser 3D scanning equipment. The completed works - a high fidelity 3D hologram of Yosemite Valley, prints and film - have been shown at LACMA, The Royal Academy and ART LAB, Seoul.

In the 1870’s Eadweard Muybridge looked to Yosemite as a setting to test his pioneering photographic techniques. These early expeditions have been replicated throughout history, most famously by Ansel Adams, but more recently by thousands of digitally enabled adventurers with comparatively tiny cameras tucked into their pockets.

Post-lenticular Landscapes re-enacted these expeditions equipped with the very latest in terrestrial laser scanning technology. This crusade has unearthed the three dimensional facts of the landscape allowing the photographic experience of Muybridge, Adams and a thousand other visitors to be digitally replicated and realising Muybridge’s original endeavour to capture the scenes in three dimensions as stereograms.
