pioneers of pie in the sky | makers of mischief
We are an artist-led studio who combine artistic practice with commissioning, curatorial projects, design and consultancy to explore social, cultural and creative issues. Collaboration is at the core of our creative practice and ethos: involving innovative collaborations in fields as diverse as medical research, music, community development, housing and urban regeneration, pervasive computing, mapping and sensor technologies.
Our work includes large scale collaborative artworks such as Mapping Perception, long term media works such as Urban Tapestries and Diffusion Generator, multi project initiatives involving in depth research and a high level of public participation such as Social Tapestries, smaller scale artworks, interventions and films such as Topographies and Tales, experimental forums and events such as Human Echoes – A Dialogue on Cultures of Listening and large scale curatorial initiatives such as Navigating History.
Current projects include Sutton Grapevine and Sensory Threads.
