neilcsmith.net - Exploring New Ecologies of Creativity

Neil C Smith

Sound and InterMedia Artist

My work explores different ways of using technology to extend the ability to create. Working solo and in collaboration with other artists, I create live improvised performances, and site-specific generative and interactive installations. Breaking away from the familiar uses of technology as a reproductive medium, my work exists in real-time and real-space - each moment a unique and unrepeatable experience. (See the Projects and Events sections for more information).

Arts and Technology Adviser

With a background in technology based arts, as well as having worked over five years as an Arts Officer, I am strongly placed to provide specialist advice to artists and arts organisations. Areas of expertise include free open-source software, customised technology, internet strategy and organisational development. (See the Consultancy section for more information).

Sound Pool Video

Sound Pool

I’ve uploaded a video of Jenny Parrott performing a dance improvisation in my Sound Pool installation at Banbury Museum in November 2006. This is currently on Google video - http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-1631892283027158552

Update (Feb 2008)

Magoria, an ongoing digital portrait of Oxfordshire commissioned by Faces of Oxfordshire and curated by Tom Freshwater, is currently showing as part of the Who is Who? exhibition at the Museum of Oxford. I am also working on the installation of an interactive, outdoor sound commission for The Ley Community, and when time permits working on the first release of my software project, IRIS.

Update (Oct 2007)

The new version of this site is now live! It has been reworked to use the new version of Drupal, and the design has been optimised for accessibility and ease of updating. Project information and images are now mostly up-to-date, although I am still working on some add-on solutions for audio and video. Details of the Sound Pool and Trees of the Cherwell Valley installations created during the Resonance residency are now online.
