What a commission could be.

Most recently I built the electronic system behind an interactive sculpture for a medical company. Here are a few directions a piece could take.

Reception & lobby pieces

A sculpture that greets visitors and reacts as people arrive.

Tell your story

Art that expresses what your organisation does — through movement, light or interaction.

Driven by live data

A piece that changes with real information: footfall, energy use, the weather, your own data.

Launches & anniversaries

A landmark piece to mark a moment, built to stay long after the event.

Working with an artist

I collaborate with artists — bring the one you have in mind, or we can shape the idea together.

Built for everyday use

Designed to switch on with the building and run unattended, with clear documentation for your team.

How we’d work together.

A clear process, with the risky parts tested first.

Brief

We talk about the space, the audience, the message, the budget and the deadline.

Concept & prototype

The artistic idea and the technology develop together, with early tests to prove the interaction.

Build

Electronics and software are built and tested for long, reliable running.

Install & handover

Installation, commissioning and a simple handover so your team knows how it works.

Questions.

Something else? Just ask — email me.

Do we need to bring an artist?

Often an artist is already involved. If not, get in touch anyway — we can talk about how to shape the idea.

Will it run without anyone looking after it?

That’s the aim. Pieces are designed to start up on their own and run day after day with minimal attention.

What happens if something goes wrong later?

You get documentation of how the system works, and we can agree ongoing support if you need it.

How long does a commission take?

It depends on scale. Tell me your deadline early and I’ll be honest about what’s achievable.

Planning a commission?

Tell me about the space, the occasion and your timeline. I’ll come back with questions and next steps.
