Sensory Fields
The call-out to Artists:
Sensory Fields is an opportunity for artists working in any medium and interested in sensor-based technologies to create an installation of interactive artworks that explores the relationships between art, people and spaces.
To apply for this opportunity, please submit one artwork and a brief description that demonstrates how your practice and artwork fit the themes of the project as well as your commitment to creating, adapting and working with others and sensor-based technologies to create an interactive installation.
Artists will be selected based on the above criteria as well as how their work can be reinterpreted within an exhibition that seeks to blur the lines between different individual pieces as well as how it can be adapted to respond to its context.
Those artists with existing knowledge of using sensors and making kinetic and/or interactive art are encouraged to apply, however, this is not essential.
The goal of this project is to create an installation for Fringe Arts Bath (FaB), which is open from the 24th May - 9th June 2024.
Artists will need to be available to ship, install and deinstall their work, to help with invigilation as well as to be involved in the planning stages and discussions surrounding the concepts and outcomes of the installation via online meetings.

Curated by Jamie Lee
Jamie was a recent associate of the alternative art school ‘Open School East’. His solo practice addresses the materiality, physical scale and history of different sites and incorporates audio and visual recording as well as sensor-based technologies to sense and track movement, exploring the affects of unseen forces on bodies and objects. His collaborative work involves social practices at the cross-section of issues surrounding public space, human networks and climate science.
Jamie is member of the ‘A Forest of Things’ collective and has programmed events, made work and exhibited in London, Margate, Bristol, Bath, Cardiff, Sheffield and Plymouth.
