Two projects
with young people on the island of Eigg and in Oban on the theme of the natural
environment. Made as part of the Scottish Natural Heritage
young peoples'art project. The Eigg project exists as an interactive CD which
combines maps, short film clips, beach sculptures scans and interviews.The
result is a
mapping of the is;land in experiential terms. The Oban project is a short
film made with the Princes Trust boys group in Oban, which combines different
meanings
of the sea: scientific, ecological, touristic and economic.

The themes
of working with new media in remote environments are discussed in a series
of online publications at Liquid
Geographies.
This is a discussion seminar linking artists and civil organisations in debate
oninnovative use of new technologies in community contexts.
My piece, "Keep focus," relates the romanticism expected of the
Scottish journey to ways in which self-image and self-determination may change
as
media production becomes more fluid.
