About & Bio
Latest CV (link)
Owen (he/him) is a collaborative digital artist and creative technologist.
He creates work for stages, screens and spaces using software, electronics, and sound.
His work is grounded in live performance, building reactive tools and systems for himself and collaborators, which produce spectacular stylised representations of the natural world and physical forces, or convey playful narratives on perception, interpersonal communication, trust and connection.
His commercial work has included serving as technical lead on large, cutting-edge projects for clients such as Oculus Studios, Google, Microsoft/Xbox, Samsung and Mercedes, collaborating with digital creatives such as Universal Everything, FIELD and B-Reel. These projects have ranged from an interactive web-connected musical installation at the London Science Museum for Google, Web Lab, to a pneumatic live-streamed pinata-smashing robot.
He is co-founder of Huldufugl, a Reykjavik-based theatre and events company experimenting with new mediums in theatre, both technological and immersive.
He is also co-founder of Horizons Studio, a London-based creative studio producing interactive musical experiences in VR. Their debut title, Horizons VR was commissioned by Google as a launch title for their Daydream platform, with releases on Oculus and HTC platforms planned for 2019.
