Since 2017 I have co-created KAN-COLLECTIVE with collaboration and public participation to explore new immersive multimedia live performances; showcased at TATE, Barbican, Berlinale, Biennale of Odisha, Athens Digital Arts Festival, and other venues worldwide. During Covid, my focus shifted to 2D animation in VR and AR, and I was awarded an intensive training at the STORY FUTURES ACADEMY. In 2020 I was funded by Animate Projects for an immersive animation documentary trilogy: Cities of Ladies . It has been selected in 67 new media festivals worldwide, including the Berlinale Talents Opening Ceremony and won 10 awards. This year I have won funds from the British Council for STARP an interactive AR animated documentary. It combines immersive technology and the oldest traditional craft from Nepal, fair-trade sustainable practices, and celebrates equality for women. The project will culminate in a series of exhibitions worldwide next year. I have also recently received an R&D grant for SENSING, a programme of artist’s commission exploring neurodiversity. I am collaborating with Mathew Longo, Professor of the Body Representation Laboratory at Birkbeck University, to create an immersive VR to investigate the psychological and neural bases of our experience. From 2005 to 2017, I co-created the company MEWLAB represented by FilmClub Productions at Th1ng.
