Urban Projections is the work and collaborations of artist Rebecca Smith. Experimenting with how we perceive ourselves through immersive technologies, her work seeks to surprise and engage audiences with it's playful tone and interactivity. Challenging and pushing the boundaries of her discipline, Rebecca cultivates human connection and shared experiences within beautifully crafted, digital worlds.
"I'm interested in how technology can offer ways of exploring the sometimes complex relationship between people, place and environment."
The most powerful dialogues emerge when people come together through shared experiences. Rebecca’s work transforms spaces into collective expressions, focusing on collaboration with underrepresented voices. Rooted in co-creation, her art amplifies diverse perspectives, creating environments where creativity grows from a sense of community. By blending digital media with physical surroundings, she invites audiences into direct engagement, making her art both accessible and deeply meaningful.
Rebecca’s work has been viewed in prestigious venues throughout the UK and internationally, such as the Saatchi Gallery, Tate, The Royal Academy of Arts and The Royal Albert Hall. However, her work is equally at home on the streets and in unusual outdoor locations. With a heavy influence of street art culture, and love of abandoned sites and objects, she uses forgotten spaces as a canvas for much her work.
With over twenty years experience as a professional audio-visual performer, Rebecca has led impactful, cross-disciplinary projects, workshops, and forums in both educational institutions and community settings. Driven by a profound passion for art and technology, she actively fosters innovative approaches to new media. Rebecca is also a dedicated advocate for women and the LGBTQ+ community in the arts and technology, encouraging greater representation across the creative industries.
