Sensory Fields (2024) a group exhibition as part of Fringe Arts Bath, curated by Jamie Lee and featuring the following artists: Paul Vivian, Jocelyn Brett, Ushara Dilrukshan, Laura Prochilo, Sebastián Morales Castillo, Abi Pert, Jed Fielder and James Bragg.
Sensory Fields was a group exhibition and programme exploring virtual environments and ways of sensing. The exhibition used artworks as material, bringing nine artists’ works together as a programme that seeks to find new relationships between their works.
Paul Vivian’s Doll Tor Sonorous (2024), a 2 channel video piece focuses on the scanning and recording of standing stones, presented at Sensory Fields as a conversation between filmed footage of the stones and their 3D scanned representation. New Moves (2024) by Jed Fielder and Jamie Lee is a poetic reflection on our increasingly virtual experience of eating out, as well as the disappearing division of labor and leisure brought on by the internet, social media and smart phones. Similarly Laura Prochilo’s Future Foods (2024) also looks at the production of food as a commodity. Inbetween (2023) by Abi Pert, looks at domesticity in the digital age and the affects of plugging into virtual environments in times of crises and conflict. James Bragg and Sebastián Morales Castillo’s Desert Dreaming (2024) converts Castillo’s dance moves using a volumetric camera into abstract shapes and places them onto artificial landscapes. Jocelyn Brett and Ushara Dilrukshan’s LIMBŌ (2024) similarly converts live gestures into new mediums.
