“Within the cracks of this former site of human production, nature quietly begins to return.  At first it appears artificial, broken, alienated – an echo of past domination. But venture deeper into the exhibition and the narrative shifts: nature begins to speak, to breathe, and to respond.  Through interactive digital installations, sensor-driven environments, and living plants, the artists explore this relationship between nature and our post-industrial world.”

Reimagining Ruins is a group exhibition by 8 emerging artists who took part in ‘Room to Play’ – a 6-week course exploring interactive visuals with Tinderbox Collective and Ray Interactive. Artists came from different disciplines including music, dance, film, textiles, game-design, visual art and sculpture. After learning about the visual programming software Touch Designer and different sensors that respond to movement, touch and sound, the artists formed teams and worked together to create a series of artworks that make up this immersive installation and performance space.
