Embark on a journey through the roots and sprouts of our growing creative ecosystem; cultivated and nurtured by over 70 artists and designers from the Digital Direction MA programme. Together, we delve into our collective identities and narratives that examine how digital influences shape our personas, minds, emotions, and behaviours. Through nurture, decay, and the pollination between them, we underscore the link between our online environments and physical realities, emphasising core values and aspirations that transcend both realms.

The featured works, primarily still in progress, embody the seeds of our critical thinking and creative processes. Intertwine, a living ecosystem, represents our desire to forge connections and reimagine the digital space. This interconnection forms a fertile ground for cross-pollination of ideas, fostering fruitful collaborations and fresh, vibrant perspectives, intersecting storytelling, artistic creation, and immersive technology. The exhibition offers a diverse range of mediums, including VR, AR, digital artworks, sound installations, film, and more.

We warmly invite you to experience what it means to foster connections and embrace transformation as Intertwine evolves over time. As you navigate this sensory oasis, let the seeds of inspiration take root in your mind.
