The Car, The Future, Me

“The Car,The Future, Me” ,  commissioned by the British motor Museum, is a 20 minute digital installation that explores the future of the UK’s automotive landscape, told through the voice of those most affected.

The work mixes, video, parallax and full 3-d imagery with environmental sounds and voice recordings. The work has a score by Brighton based musician Phil Reeve.

The work will run for a year as an intergral part of the “The Car, The Future, Me” exhibition that is running at the British Motor Museum between July 2019 and Dec 2020.
