Join digital art collective Compiler with invited artists and practitioners for a session of Show & Tell presentations followed by a panel conversation. Book your free ticket here.
Building on their summer commission Tracing Together within our Desire Lines exhibition, we will look at playful, accessible approaches of working with digital technologies across games, interactive installations and community programming - from experimental engines and small-file aesthetics to care-led participation and open-source workflows.
Together, we will unpack what makes interactive public artworks and projects truly welcoming and engaging. Exploring ways that digital tools can help surface overlooked routes, preserve local stories, and make space for new paths to be made together.
Come to meet other local practitioners, share ideas and make connections. All are welcome, no technical knowledge or art background needed.
Please note our doors will open at 6:30pm for a 6:45pm start.
Speakers are:
Ama Dogbe is a British-Ghanaian artist who builds video games, digital animations and audio-visual installations exploring autobiographical and utopian themes. Her recent work uses interactive virtual world-building as a tool to examine collection, family, identity. She has created digital forests, sky mazes, and gleaming platforms that audiences can explore online. Her processes often use self-taught and collaborative techniques to produce experimental and unconventional outcomes.
Di Mainstone is a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker who explores the tipping-point between wakefulness and dream as a space to contemplate emotional themes like the climate crisis. Through sensory installations, films, wearable instruments, and sonic sculptures, she creates surreal, meditative environments that cultivate reflection and connection. Collaborating with scientists and musicians, projects such as Emotional Biodiversity with FutureEverything, Mind Garden with Queen’s College Oxford, and Time Bascule with Tower Bridge investigate how emotional engagement can seed new understandings of humanity’s relationship with the natural world and the wider web of life.
