Prism Portrait of Coney Street, York.
Prism Portrait of Coney Street, York.
Coney Street is ‘The King’s Street’, one of the oldest and most important streets in the city of York
The video was shown on a circular screen in the basement gallery, as part of the Navigators Art exhibition, at 29-31 Coney Street, as part of the StreetLife Project in 2022. StreetLife was an interdisciplinary project led by the University of York, in collaboration with City of York Council, York Civic Trust, York Music Venue Network, and creative practitioners.
Views are taken from the side streets and Snickleways off Coney Street. The video contrasts the shoppers and tourists on the bustling main street with the wall textures and quiet of the side streets.
The prism combines 3 views, front, left and right simultaneously, each with a separate colour filter.
Sounds are intermittent, echoing down into the basement as if from an people passing an open window to the street.

Travel on the road to rehabilitation, as returning prisoners share their journeys of reintroduction to life on the outside.
Immersive films shot by local filmmakers in collaboration with prisoners collect stories based on themes of 'Crossroads' and 'Culture'. Retold as eye-catching GIFs and slogans, Returning Citizens gives a rare insight into the process of release and rehabilitation and is testament to the life-changing opportunities provided by innovation and open minds.

Seebohm Rowntree: Local Hero:
Illuminating York 2014: According to McGee
Extracts from Seebohm's 1901 book "Poverty, A Study of Town Life" slowly scroll down a small tv screen inside the terraced house. Lenses slowly rotate in front of the tv, magnifying & distorting the text. This text is captured by a webcam & enlarged onto the rear screen & gauze, occasionally mixed with other video sources. The gallery contains recent art from workshops with local homeless & ex- homeless artists. At the time of the exhibition, some of the houses which featured in Seebohm`s book, (Peaseholme Green York) were being archeologically excavated, made reference to by the pottery shards.

Umbrella Dome: Illuminating York 2012: According to McGee
A full geodesic dome, made from bamboo & umbrellas, was squeezed into the gallery.
A mxture of Kaleidoscopic patterns, high contrast clockwork toy shadows & animal silhouettes were projected onto the umbrellas from within the dome.
Taxi Rank: Greenbelt Arts Festival, Cheltenham Racecourse: 2006
Dancers stand in line at a fake taxi rank. They're holding white umbrellas, onto which taxi images are projected. DJ's play uncompromising german electro, which echoes around the concrete & brick canyon between the grandstand & the exhibition centre. The public are invited to share memorable taxi ride stories on the mic. A cardboardbox, yellow taxi eventually arrives; everyone cheers.
Meanwhile the people watching Daniel Beddingfield on mainstage miss out on all the fun.
