Challenge + Solution

As a response to the unique space offered by The Hidden Gardens, I worked with an art organisation to create a participatory and site-specific installation, specially curated during the challenging period of lockdown. This installation became a prominent feature within the exhibition titled "Gathering Among Reflections."

To enhance accessibility and ensure inclusivity, I took the initiative to develop a website and virtual tour, which were successfully launched in February 2021. This digital platform allowed individuals to enjoy and actively contribute to the exhibition from the comfort of their homes, promoting cultural engagement during a time of isolation. I secured funding from Young Scot and The Glasgow School of Art, enabling the realization of this project.

Later, in April 2021, I produced in Cinema 4D a 3D model representation of the houses for the virtual art exhibition "Colouring Outside the Lines". This exhibition, hosted as part of UNESCO RILA Affiliate Artists and in collaboration with Glasgow University, further showcased the fusion of art and technology. The combined efforts resulted in an immersive and engaging experience for participants, amplifying the impact of these exhibitions and highlighting the potential for innovative artistic expressions within virtual realms.
