A Boy is a Gun

Show description
A Boy is a Gun is an exploration of stereotypical roles within video games, black masculinity and my experiences of growing up as a black British boy and teen. These themes are explored through the vehicle of the character Skate Hunter (from Streets of Rage 2), presenting a new fictional narrative to better reflect his own life, blending a gaming world with an all too real experience.

Sticker Book

Show description
Sticker Book is an artwork about nostalgia and childhood. Fairy tales told to us when we’re young fill us with wonder, inspire us, and fill our imaginations. As we grow up we start to see the more sinister side to them. The companies that tell these stories are themselves problematic. These empires use IP and copyright laws to control exactly who gets to tell these stories and how they are told. By allowing them to amass such a large amount of stuff we have enabled them to take a hold of the very notion of childhood, imagination, and innocence.

Some of my Favourite Songs

Show description
Some of My Favourite Songs is a series of images made by reinterpreting each of the 16 songs on the CD as images. Each of the 16 images were made by taking an mp3 of each song and feeding it into a specially made program - built with Pure Data - that converts the mp3s binary data into an image. Unlike spectrograms and waveforms, this visual representation of the audio shares a lot with glitch art and captures the noisier and more chaotic nature of sounds.
