Chris Squire and Spencer Roberts are our Artists of the Day today.
Chris Squire’s roots lie in the performing arts, but works at the interface between participatory events, new technologies and installation.
Based in Yorkshire he is director of Impossible Arts, collaborating with artists from many disciplines to combine participatory, digital, live and visual arts in a wide range of innovative projects.
His work mixes the technological with the lyrical and aims to involve and intrigue people from many different backgrounds.
‘Lightweight’ is an elegant 4m diameter inflatable sphere that looks simple. It is also the hiding place for complex electronic, sonic and optical equipment developed to create seemingly mysterious and effortless effects.
