Electricity Board

I'm an artist, musician and researcher, based in Bristol in the UK. My work is heavily influenced by ideas of hauntology and lost futures.

I make computer games and I populate my virtual environments with digital images, 3D models, digital audio and video. The result is my virtual archive of things that never were. And dusty archives are the starting point for my live ambient performances.

My research explores how creative digital technologies can be used in coproduction with museums, archives and galleries to highlight alternative narratives and help bring the past to life.

The Millbury March Estate, a multimedia performance by the Electricity Board. A live audiovisual work, exploring the rise and decline of post-war housing from the utopian glow of new estates to the static-filled echoes of their later years.

Performed live using instruments based on 1930s experimental designs, salvaged components and archival schematics. No DAW, no computers. Just current, interference patterns, dust and memory. Each tone hums with remembered optimism: the sound of freshly wired homes, sodium lights flickering on, and the quiet promise of modern living.

The Museum of Hauntology is a VR game for PC. Many of the Electricity Board exhibitions featured on this site are included in the museum. The museum features counterfactual digital artefacts drawn from an alternative 1970s that didn't quite happen.
