Streets is a public artwork consisting of a large-scale responsive sound and video installation permanently integrated into a busy tram station in Dublin. This project was created in collaboration with artist Ciara O'Malley, the landscape architects and station architects at the Railway Procurement Agency (RPA), and a large group of community groups in Dublin who participated in the project by developing both written and visual content that served as the basis of the installation.

Disintegration Process (2004)

Disintegration Process represented a working methodology that I developed to give form to a series of field recordings collected in derelict building sites and discarded urban infrastructures in Dublin’s city centre in 2003 and 2004. The recordings focused on capturing a sense of intimacy in these desolate places, which included an abandoned railway line, empty apartment buildings, unused and overgrown fragments of land between other properties, and sites of temporarily-halted building projects.

Squealer: Distributed Public Interaction 1 (2003)

Squealer was designed to initiate a distributed exploration of mobile phones and mobile social spaces as a platform for social interaction and artistic production, and subsequently as a form of social sculpture or social music.
