Flow is a live video feed installation that uses video processing technologies that play with time, chopping it up into fleeting moments and stretching it out across space. The result is a digital hall of mirrors, that freezes manipulated frames and time in a sequence and keeps doing so in a continuous flow.

Central to the work is the use of interactivity, with the viewer producing and manipulating the imagery that gets created by way of their movement. Central to this process is the notion that play and playfulness appear to be core features of interactivity along with the physicality of the interaction.

The piece can be seen as generative art work - taking place in silence and is of infinite length. A webcam pulls in light and the computer program driving the piece sets the visual parameters, with the viewer through movement prompting other variations, generating continuous, slow and infinite metamorphoses.

The work was exhibited at The Manchester Museum of Science and Industry and at Islington Mill in Salford in 2007.
