In 2018, ‘Amazon Prime Air’ launched, using drone technology the company began globally delivering products to online shoppers from Amazon.com’s warehouses. Soon after its launch an error in the drones began sending packages programmed to be delivered at geographical coordinates in Valdez, a remote town in Alaska, to Rilao, an unknown island disconnected from the known world in the early 1900’s. A designated group on the island have taken the task of exploring what functions, or new-found conveniences can be discovered in modern and globalized commercial objects based on Rilao’s almost utilitarian ideology.

from James Coulson
Bipolar
Bipolar is an experiment using the human form as a medium for sound visualisation. It is an audiovisual virtual mirror that warps the participant’s body as they wander through the space. A soundscape designed by Liam Paton is generated from the presence and motion of the participants. The data from this (in addition to sounds from the user and environment) is used to transform the body into a distorted portrait that fluctuates between states of chaos and order.
