Technical Services for Artists

As I'm both a "technical boffin" & an artist, I'm uniquely positioned to provide all sorts of technical help & advice to other artists.

As well as my usual video, audio & web design services - I can provide solutions to all manner of technical problems in your artistic practice.

It's difficult to provide full details of what I can do for you here, as rather than making your ideas fit my "products", I'm here to give you help specific to your own needs. But here are a few examples of what I've done for others:

During his residency in Swindon Art Gallery, I converted Ray Ward's computer animations and soundbites into a DVD, so that he could leave them running on a TV rather than leaving his laptop in the gallery.
Working on the Mechanics Institute Preservation Trust's Rolling Exhibition, I:
- created a device using a "re-cycled" computer and a burglar alarm sensor that played a sound-effect as visitors entered a certain room;
- set up some more "re-cycled" computers to display slide shows & videos automatically as soon as they were switched on;
- mastered some DVDs to play in looped mode as soon as the players are switched on;
- & generally helped out setting up TVs, video players, etc.
I developed software to create a realistic kaliedoscope to create transitions between images for a video project.
