Some Examples of a Good Summer (2021) - Walkthrough

Built as Part of SPUR.World, after finding a DVD at the Park Gates you are invited to explore the environment & uncover the different stories that narrate the landscape. Co-created with Reece Griffiths.

''The centeral character within the work 'The Park Ranger' was developed during the Covid-19 lockdowns as part of my time on the residency. I had drawn on documentary footage from a Fun-Day at the park local to me when I was a child in my hometown and the parks that I lived near to as I made the work, which were the only reliably open public spaces during that time in the pandemic.''

''Developed in Unity, a cross-platform 3D game engine, each world is constructed as a three-dimensional interactive environment. Building from traditional methods of Live Action Role Play (Larp) and Real Game Play (RGP) the exhibition unfolds as the viewer moves through its varied realms. A series of hybrid worlds layered with audio, text, and video works SPUR.WORLD envelopes its viewer within a series of artist-generated landscapes, fueling the instinctual desire for escapism, play, and a brief moment outside of our physical selves.'' - SPUR.World Website

The PARK notice board at 'D-Unit' - Bristol - SPUR World Exhibition

''Consisting of fifteen virtual worlds, SPUR.WORLD represents the subconscious domain of 14 resident artists custom avatars. Working within themes and representations of mysticism, ritual, and the natural world, the collective utilises game engine technology to form complex yet cohesive narratives. For D-UNIT the previously online exhibition will take a physical form through projection ( and covid permitting VR) representing the final outcome of the year-long project.''
