one of many 
one of many examines accumulation, plurality, and the co-existence of complexities: each of us is one of many; each situation is one of many. Multiple perspectives and interpretations nearly always exist. Experience invisibly influences ways of reading and being in a moment, just as the history of a site holds many different truths. Exposing these things in their minutia is impossible, but pointing to the complexity of togetherness in spaces with histories is a way to honour a multiplicity of realities. one of many refers also to a growing inventory of pleasures, pressures, memories, and relationships that accumulate with time and inevitably influence impulses and choice-making – including in interactive performance experiences.

You are swimming here (v.2)

You are swimming here is an installation which takes participants on a journey through a real space transformed by augmented reality to explore the human and natural histories that exist in our shared spaces. An invitation to take time to consider our personal relationships to the world around us, it reflects on natural life cycles, the impact of time on repair, and personal responsibility through a playfully interactive and surreal experience. 
Collaborators:  Luke Garwood, Heidi Strauss, Immony Mèn, Omar David Rivero, David Mesiha, Kris Boyd, Jeremy Mimnagh, Jasmine Liaw, Rumi Jeraj, Yiming Cai, Clarke Blair, Sagan Yee, Marie LeBlanc Flanagan, Amanda Baker
