The project will explore the relationship between individuals and technologies, giving my usual soft-sculptures a breath of life – imbuing them with the ability to move, breathe and beat.
The work aims to demonstrate the value of technology, in particular for the disabled community, especially since Covid-19 has opened the doorway to virtual presence & remote-working.

Delphi CampbellMobility aids and Zoom calls give us freedom, not separation. The melding of body and electronics is of great fascination to me, in part due to my own deepened dependence on modern creations as a result of my disabilities. The project I will be undertaking as a British Pavilion Fellow at the Venice Biennale, supported by the British Council, will explore the relationship between individuals and technologies, giving my usual soft-sculptures a breath of life – imbuing them with the ability to move, breathe and beat. The work aims to demonstrate the value of technology, in particular for the disabled community, especially since Covid-19 has opened the doorway to virtual presence & remote-working.
EASTN-DC, European Art-Science-Technology Network for Digital Creativity, is a network dedicated to the time-based digital arts: musical arts, visual arts, performing and interactive arts. It is gathering 16 partners in 13 different countries from Europe to the Americas. They will host and exchange about 70 creators in the frame of a 16 international events tour spread over 4 years. These privileged moments, in direct contact with the audience, will frame a new and systemic approach, binding the Knowing “Disseminate”, the Learning “Inseminate”, the Making “Collect”, a digital creativity factory leading to a creative citizen.
