  Antisocial MediaA standalone keyboard (with no monitor) linked to a remote web server. Created for the Digital Research for Humanities and the Arts conference, visitors were invited to type anonymous messages onto the keyboard. Each message was automatically uploaded to a website for remote visitors to browser. Each keystroke was met with a gentle vibration to give the users confidence their message was being submitted.

  PianairA computer software released online that turned users’ webcams into pianos that could be played by moving your fingers in front of the web camera. Additional features included a ball-bouncing mini-game and remote play, where any input (e.g. images from a TV, people walking past) could be used to play the keyboard.

  Hot'n'HornyA year-long, automated monitoring of an online listings website to determine whether people posted more casual hookup adverts as the weather increased in temperature
• TeletortoiseAn installation enabling the control of conditions inside a remote turtle aquarium. Users logged in to a session-based web portal where they could remotely feed the turtle, add water to its enclosure or turn the light on and off. All sessions were logged and actions recorded for analysis.
• Man Machine IIInstallation where the public were invited to interact with a performer who was hooked up to an array of sensors. The sensors – alpha brainwave, pulse, galvanic skin responses (sweat), movement – fed their inputs into a live audio-visualisation projected behind the performer.
• Elastic SystemElastic System was a giant, interactive mosaic of book spines created for Richard Wright and the British Library. The final piece had to be a 2,500 megapixel composite image of 5,0000 book spines made to resemble the face of Thomas Watts, inventor of the elastic book retrieval system at the British Library. Visitors could zoom out to see Watts’ face in the mosaic, or zoom in close enough to read the details on the spines. As users selected books they were removed from the mosaic, revealing an image of British Library staff. The developed application organised and resized source book spines to create the mosaic. It also de-duplicated the tiles, deployed background tiles and an image-overlay, and clipped low-quality source tiles to remove errant pixels. The piece was also made available as an interactive web app.
