PROJECTS

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE (GUI/GOOEY)

SUNCONSCIOUS – SOUNDS OF SPACE PROJECT

As a multimedia artist with a background in engineering, my practice highlights our relationships with earth, the cosmos and the nanoscale. I work with experiential palettes of video, sound, installation, print and performance to establish fresh connections across art-science disciplines. Collaborative exploratory methodologies and art outcomes act as the catalyst ‘to elicit and initiate new thinking processes’ for diverse audiences and spaces.

RECENT NEWS

I have just released a new album ‘Infinitas Formas‘, a sonic odyssey to Antarctica. My interactive art installation “Celebration’ in the hall at Sidney Sussex College continues to attract attention so an invitation to visit it the historic dining hall.

Now in ‘review & create’ mode I am keeping an eye out for fresh research, exhibition and commissioning opportunities. Stay tuned…and/or get in touch!

Looking back, 2025 was a busy artist year:-Completion of my eco art-science residency, two albums created as Sounds of Space Project, a film inspired by green spaces and a water-themed film-poem with Ruth Padel for the Rivers of Film Festival. I also had a brilliant opportunity to adapt my original ‘Cradle of Fire’ film into a 360Deg immersive festival experience in Sheffield.

"Celebration' Installation for Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge

About the artwork
The site-specific installation ‘Celebration’ created by artist Diana Scarborough was commissioned by Sidney Sussex College for the 50th anniversary of the admission of women into the college. Female fellows were invited to be photographed with objects of their choice that they felt best represented their research, themselves, or aspirations for the future. Screens wrapped in gilded frames placed on stands integrate the digital art with the past and present fabric of the hall. Proximity sensors are activated when someone is near, causing a new portrait to appear, passers-by thus become the catalyst for change. With thirty different portraits, viewed as a pair, the changing combination of images on screens offers up unexpected visual connections across disciplinary divides.
