for the BIAS exhibition at Science Gallery Dublin, made with the support of Accenture Labs and Science Gallery Dublin. Most Likely to Succeed is an interactive installation exploring bias, fairness and AI, in which your performance in a series of on-screen assessment challenges is used to determine the amount of time you are given to play a physical game. On show until Q1 2022.

I worked as the core developer/technologist for the 'AirWeShare' interactive installation as part of the Climate and Cities collective. Commissioned by Hubbub, the piece was on public display for 2 weeks in Covent Garden, London. The piece used a system of balloons and spotlights to enable people to compare air quality in different parts of the city. More info. Press: BBC Radio LondonThe Evening Standard.
