Paths by Ben Dalton

Ground floor of Leeds Shopping Plaza.

Residency commences on Tuesday 17th August.

Closing event with refreshments Thursday 2nd September 2010. All welcome to attend. (This will form part of the last exhibition in these ground floor spaces in Leeds Shopping Plaza before there are redeveloped.)

Ben enjoys testing and visualising how different public spaces are used, and is exploring ways to create digital tide lines for the ebb and flow of the public. Ben plans to test cameras and projections in the space focusing on anonymity and abstract visualisation. Ben will also show some non-interactive projections based on flags and borders.

Ben teaches topics from video internet fame, to social media, to physical computing at Leeds Metropolitan University. His recent work includes a collaborative project with artists and filmmakers to build GPS maps of live music performances around Leeds, and working with leading researchers across disciplines into how people use public space.”
