Communication, correspondence and influence




Interactive work (1)
In the 2000s generative works, video constructs, became interactive using sound and image sensors. Concern for long term influences—rather than short term reactions—led to the Shaping Form series.




Interactive work (2)
The early concerns of Communication Games were revived and combined with Shaping Forms to create the distributed interactive systems, Cities Tango (above right). New work included collaboration with Mark Fell on a series of sound/image performances.
