The Dive Deep project centred on a series of exhibition making and art writing workshops for Kings’s College London students, which I devised to support the group in developing an exhibition of their peer’s artwork. The workshops explored visitor journey, experience and interpretation. They resulted in an exhibition featuring an experimental piece of writing, co-authored by the students, for the gallery handout.
The exhibition, Dive Deep: Our Immersive Selves (at Science Gallery London, 2026) presented immersive Virtual Reality (VR) artworks by students in the Digital Humanities department at King’s College London. The artworks responded to the theme of selfhood, exploring how immersive technologies change how we think about our bodies and their relationship to the world around us.
Visitors were invited to explore two ‘playable’ environments and a host of walk-through videos created in Unity, a 3D game engine often used to prototype world-building scenarios and communicate speculative ideas.
The academic partner for this project was Dr Gabriele Salciute Civiliene, Lecturer in Digital Humanities at King’s College London.
