Hyperspace 403 is an immersive experimental animation that blends digital and physical storytelling. It explores the boundaries between screen-based animation and spatial experiences using innovative visuals and interactive components.

£20,000
Aims of the Project
This funding will support my exploration of immersive animation within a gallery environment, allowing me to experiment with storytelling beyond traditional screens. The project will serve as a testing ground for multi-sensory animation, integrating looping sequences, sculptural elements, and interactive technologies to create a spatial and dynamic experience.
By exploring the intersection of digital aesthetics and physical space, I aim to engage viewers in animation as an experiential medium rather than a purely visual one. This process will help refine my approach to expanded animation and installation while also providing insights into how these techniques can evolve within art, design, and interactive media. Ultimately, I hope to expand the possibilities of immersive storytelling by exploring new ways for audiences to experience and interact with animated narratives.
