The work utilised software developed by the Human Interface Technology Lab New Zealand (HiTLabNZ) - there are two layers of interaction for participants in the art work. The project was a collaboration with Jung Shin, Raphael and Eric Woods of the HITLabNZ.

the DISTRICT of LEISTAVIA
Created for ISEA 2004 Tallinn, exhibited every year since
An ongoing project, involving the hybridisation of Estonian, Pitcairn Island and Norfolk Island cultures. An online form was used to gather information about preferences for the Constitution of Leistavia. Ecologically sustainable values and meritocracy (where the person who best serves the community is leader) were overwhelmingly voted for. Kylli Mariste and Joe Flynn were collaborators.

a wandering rock
Created for the ReJoyce 2004 Festival Dublin
ReJoyce celebrated the centennial of the day on which James Joyce's Ulysees is set. The work used motion sensors and imagery from the Wandering Rocks chapter of Ulysees. The proximity of the audience to the work results in changing light patterns in the 'agenbite of inwit' image.

Shown in the art department tutors show in 2008
Given the context, creative freedom was used to explore the idea of multiplicity in art works.
