I am is currently the primary investigator on a number of projects including: An Innovate UK ‘Audiences of the Future’ project named ‘Audience with a Hero’ (funding – £1m) in collaboration with SME’s Forever Holdings and Bright White.

In partnership with the Gaddum this arts-based project involves working with a small group of young carers to co-create AI emotion-sensing music tools that express their experiences as a group and as individuals; An Arts Council funded touring project called Unsound : Undead (funding – £25,000), which is touring 5 UK galleries. The project explores the edges of human perception through the lens of wearable technologies and their relationships to conflicted states of being.
