•Get Lost.
with Dot Comedy.17th-19th May. Pottersfield. Next to Tower Bridge, London.

 
21st-23rd Sept. The touring maze rears its ugly head again in Glasgow. A weird and wonderous maze full of characters with a 13 channel sound installation hidden in the walls of a giant fake maze. Touring since 2006.

•Gather.

A dynamic installation designed to tour and inhabit tree’s, within urban and rural settings.

A colony of strange pulsing entities inhabit a selection of trees.  By day they subtly scan and probe their environment, building up a static charge, whilst collectively creating an arena of contemplation and curiosity.  
Nocturnal by nature, as dusk falls they punctuate the night with flickering phosphorescent glows and an ensemble of strange pulsing sounds.

Building to moments of bursting crescendo. Is this a weird hybrid of some phone mast forest? Or another kind of nature? Inspired by sounds collected in the mountains above Kyoto, Japan's tradition of spending time with nature, fantasy fiction and a desire to inspire new ways of using public space.

Created by aswarm artists Thor McIntyre-Burnie & Toby Jarvis.
