Foreign Logics CD-rom collaboration with the writer Bernard Cohen. The tourist's experience of language is of mistranslations, words overheard and partly comprehended, language used too fast or stretched out so slowly that the beginning of a sentence disappears as it’s end approaches. We remember places for their (instantly judged) feel of love or threat. The tourist irrevocably owns all visited destinations. Bickerstaff and Cohen make them available for recall in ten remnant words - from which emerge half-memories, recent and ancient legends, foreign logics and a game of Pong. Commissioned by DA2 Digital Arts Development Agency |

Tourism CD-rom collaboration with the writer Bernard Cohen. Tourism is a CD-rom that evolved from the initial development process that eventually lead to another CD-rom project, Foreign Logics. The tourist's experience of language is of mistranslations, words overheard and partly comprehended, language used too fast or stretched out so slowly that the beginning of a sentence disappears as it’s end approaches. We remember places for their (instantly judged) feel of love or threat. The tourist irrevocably owns all visited destinations. Commissioned by DA2 Digital Arts Development Agency |

Gilt Gilt is a collaboration using photographs and videos by Chris Wainwright and an interactive construct by David Bickerstaff. It has at it's core, a morphing sequence of light sources derived from banks, state buildings, and centres of power throughout the world. From this central sequence it is possible to move into a series of quick time movies that further explore the issues surrounding power, public and private space and the architecture of finance. |

The Cistern The Cistern comprised of a touch-screen computer, with video and sound, located in a disused toilet cubicle in a Georgian bath. Here the viewer explores a macro landscape of bodies and dilapidated rooms by touching and dragging their finger across the computer interface while an orchestration of voices, found water and machinery sounds emanate from the surrounding walls and across the ceiling. With each touch they perform a navigation, exploring the digital space.Commissioned by DA2 Digital Arts Development Agency and Bath Festivals Trust |

Chanzo CD-rom. If you have never been to Tanzania, then the only understanding or personal experience you have of Tanzania is that realised through anecdotal stories told by past travellers and tourist media. In Chanzo, a collection of impressions are compiled from text, images, and sounds gathered from advertising, books, and the internet, forming a personal journey that is presented back to an African audience for discussion. Commissioned by the British Council, Tanzania and exhibited at The National Museum of Tanzania. |

The Big Idea Artistic minds are like open books, littered with the residue of past and future adventures. The Big Idea takes a light-hearted look at the influences, frustrations, and distractions that engages the creative mind in the pursuit of expression. The Big Idea CD-rom was made to accompany the exhibition 'BOOK' curated by David Bickerstaff which showed specially commissioned installation pieces by 4 artists - David Austen, Neil Miller, Mark Wallinger and Daphne Wright.' |

Bitblood Baby Using the 'game' format as a metaphor, Bitblood Baby deals with questions of genetic intervention by creating a hypothetical system for baby construction. The viewer has an opportunity to construct their own child through a series of multiple choices which are governed at first by a visual selection of facial 'bits'. These 'bits' reveal a nine point description of your potential child which you are asked to accept or reject. Name your child and view others as choices need to made. Made in collaboration with Julian Bromley (sound) and Paul Whittington (programming) |
