This multi-component practice-based research investigates how sculptural animation and machine vision can reveal new insights into material perception and object ontology. Across a series of installations, performances, and live projections (Thrum VIII, IX, and X), the work explores flicker, stasis, and sensory instability by combining rotating sculptural assemblages with microscopes, sensors, and digital projection systems.
It advances the field of expanded animation by reframing perceptual collapse—not illusion—as the site of affect and meaning. Outputs were disseminated across academic and public platforms in the UK, Norway, and Germany.
