'All Things Equal' is an immersive installation exploring ideas of balance, equilibrium and interconnectedness. Created as a response to the 'Manifesto for Gender Equality in Music' by Brighter Sound, The piece premiered in Manchester, U.K on International Woman's Day. Collaborating with “genre-splicing genius of British electronic music” Loraine James, and award-winning Salford poet Princess Arinola Adegbite, Rebecca Artistic Directed the volumetric experience. ​ “The creation of the installation, and the process of creating it, represents a shift in equilibrium. The whole piece pivots around ideas of addressing a rebalance. I was really interested to explore these ideas of parity, and how we reach that point of change. There is an acute sense of tension and harmony which is felt throughout the installation, from beautifully transcendent moments of calm and reflection, to chaotic and sometimes disorientating mechanical swells, which stride through the full length of the space. I think the piece tries to jostle with the journey of re-balancing and making things equal." ​ In the process of creating the work, Rebecca shared skills and knowledge with four female identifying artists interested in exploring a shift in their work towards digital practice. The result is a beautiful and otherworldly experience that speaks to the importance of change and recognition, and supports the development of a new generation of creative women working in tech.

In November 2015 three creatives traveled to Paramaribo, the bustling capital of a lesser known nation on the northeastern coast of South America. They arrived with a simple goal, to combine forces in a series of experiments, mixing film, light and muralism. Felipe Pantone is a visual artist based in Valencia, Spain. His work explores themes of futurism, technology, glitches, and the advancement of the species. Strong contrasts, vivid colors, effects, and the use of mixed medium and varied technique combine to impact strongly on the viewer. Obsessed with speed and forward motion, Felipe has taken his large scale mural work worldwide, having painted walls in 5 continents. Rebecca Smith is a multidisciplinary creative based in the UK. Her project Stylus explores progressive forms of combining projection mapping with hand crafted image. In a live performance, both elements evolve and interact, to create a canvas of movement, light and paint. Selina Miles is a filmmaker from Australia. She specialises in the exploration graffiti culture.

Standing Ground is a stunning immersive experience, exploring our relationship with the natural world. It celebrates the glorious systems and cycles of nature to which we are intricately a part. As we enter a period of accelerated ecological change and intense climate uncertainty, the work seeks to find a resolution in our connection with nature, and a pathway to hope and optimism for the future. The project was created in response to a residency period with the Harley Foundation, on the historic Welbeck Estate in rural North Nottinghamshire. Artists Urban Projections & CJ Mirra worked alongside Ecologist Simon Pickles and Zine Artist, Harry Hempsall to examine the complex dialogues that link us to the local landscape. In a process of exploration and play, clients from Aebal care and support service helped co-create a series of field recordings, in an atmospheric 16th century woodland cutting. Different microphones, cameras and devices were used to capture the expressive sounds of the forest, whilst experiencing the restorative effects of a sun-filled, autumnal day in the woods. The collated recordings form the architectural soundscape to Standing Ground, and have been manipulated to create elements such as snare drums, bass hits and sound effects. Over the course of the residency, the group also studied a number of veteran trees which exist on the estate, with the aide of archival photographs from 1870. These ancient trees have stood in the landscape for hundreds of years, serving as biological witnesses to unimaginable change. Young people from the Proto-Type Collective reflected on the symbolic nature of these trees, and their ecological magnificence, by using AI as a means of collaboration to create evolving image sequences. The installation continues with an online Zine encapsulating the journey.

States of matter is a stunning immersive experience, which filled the architecture of St Mary’s church in Nottingham’s historic Lace Market, with synchronised light, sound and visual effects. It questions our fragile relationship with water, whilst examining its natural cycle. With a predicted 4 degree shift in global temperatures over the next 80 years, polar ice caps are set to irreversibly melt, and global sea levels rise to dangerous levels, presenting one of the greatest challenges to humanity. Water connects us all. States of Matter was created in a synergy between multimedia artist Urban Projections, and composer & sound designer CJ Mirra. Additional field recordings from the Arctic, Antarctic and the Humboldt Current, in the Pacific Ocean, are supplied by internationally renowned location recordist and sonic artist, Chris Watson, whose work includes the David Attenborough series ‘Frozen Planet’. The artists collaborated with young people from Nottinghamshire, in a co-creation process from which their thoughts and ideas became articulated into the final artwork. The discussions enabled dialogue and encouraged conversation into global warming, water poverty and the the interconnectedness of the atmosphere, earth and ocean, through the water cycle. The young people also took part in a series of workshops creating audio samples and recordings from their surroundings, in response to the theme. These were then woven together with the field recordings from Chris, into a subliminal sonic score by CJ Mirra. In a process of symbiosis, the visual elements were developed along side the soundscape, carefully constructing passages of immersion based on the ‘states of matter’. Using light as a medium, exploring colour theory and working with the latest audio-visual technologies, Urban Projections guided the young people through a workshop process with technical partners Sterling Events, to construct the final experience. It is hoped that States of Matter presents a means for enabling dialogue and encouraging conversation on the issues currently facing us all, with regards our relationship with water. “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make” - Dr Jane Goodall, Scientist & Activist.
