Liminalities
Liminalities is series of exploratory geo-tagged animated films which can be viewed in AR.
The animated ‘events’ can be located by using What3words and will feature windswept structures, buildings and hybrid forms.
My intention is to create a series of LIMINALITIES: Windswept structures, buildings and hybrid forms that occupy the space between the real and the imagined world.
Appearing as AR spectres overlaid onto and anchored into the environment, these could eventually form part of a trail of animated events. These geo-located animated events will appear as large as buildings or sometimes intimately sized to occupy a crack in a wall or pavement.

Aims of the project
The funding will allow me the opportunity to explore the possibilities of working with geo- locating animated events as well as developing basic immersive arts skills and knowledge.
If possible, I would like to utilise What3words addresses to locate the animations. Essentially, I will be able to initiate geo-tagged animations independently or perhaps find a partner who can help create project outputs into the environment.
I also want to produce more 3D artworks constructed using mixed media and continue printmaking to explore the use of these as triggers for activating easily accessible AR animations.

she/her
Jo Lawrence’s films have been broadcast, screened in galleries, and shown at international film festivals. Commissioned by Channel 4, Tate Britain, and Mahogany Opera, her work integrates film, animation, puppetry, and pixilation often drawing on themes such as transformation, death, and the uncanny. Residencies at the Victoria and Albert Museum and National Media Museum have helped shape her approach. Her collaboration with Collusion and Cambridge Consultants, ‘Datacosm’, combined animation with AI in multi-layered sequences which responded to live piano input. More recent work, including ‘Llygad y Lleuad’, an installation for Pontio Gallery has explored larger scale and experiential work.
