Delighted to have Symbiosis on display as part of the Science Gallery's show for the India Science Festival.

"Symbiosis: Creating collaborations underground

Did you know that plants have the ability to communicate with each other through underground networks of fungi? But apart from acting like a communication channel, fungi also helps restore important nutrients to plants, which severely reduces the need to apply chemical fertilisers. Using scientific images obtained by researchers at John Innes Centre, Henry Driver visually re-imagines the symbiotic association between plants and fungi in Symbiosis."
Many thanks to the John Innes Centre for their fantastic support.

I had a fantastic time in residence with BLOC, researching and developing new artworks and I look forward to sharing them soon.

"Last week (12-16 August), Hadleigh Library hosted their very first BLOC Lab, with five East Anglian artists from different disciplines creating and working alongside each other in a library space.

Throughout the week, the artists worked on their own projects and personal development in the library’s conference room and main space, where they interacted with customers and staff, including the Top Time group for over-55s. They heard talks from guest speakers from the arts industry and were supported with the option to speak to Suffolk Libraries’ mental health and wellbeing co-ordinator, Sarah Lungley. They also had the chance to get to know each other in new settings, with local walks and a shared meal." BLOC

I am delighted to be selected for Hotel Generation at Arebtye Gallery, London.
"This year the third edition of hotel generation takes shape again as an artist development programme aimed at artists up to the age of 26 and specifically from outside of London, within the UK. In February we put out an open call for exhibition proposals based on our 2019 programme theme: Home.

From the open call we shortlisted four artists: Isabelle Bolt (Manchester), Jacob Bolton (Liverpool), Henry Driver (Norwich), and Sarah Selby (Bristol). They will each received a stipend for the research and development stage of their proposal lasting three months. Working closely with the arebyte team, the shortlisted four are being provided with professional guidance, studio visits, critical feedback, and general mentoring and assistance.

In August 2019, the final selected participant will be selected by a judging panel. This year, we invited Alan Warburton (multi-disciplinary artist based in London), new media specialist David Gryn (Director and Founder of daata editions), digital art curator Kelani Nichole (Director and founder of TRANSFER Gallery, NY), Beryl Graham (Course Leader / Prof. of New Media Art, University of Sunderland) and Irini Papadimitriou (Creative Director of Future Everything) to be on the panel of judges.

The artist selected for a solo exhibition will then receive further funds as well as continued support from the gallery team to produce a body of work for a solo exhibition. The exhibition will run for three weeks in December 2019 and will be accompanied by a publication documenting the exhibition and the proposal from the three other participants, with commissioned texts from guest writers."

April 2019

During April, I was in residence with Signals in Basildon creating a new commission for their BIT TIME Project. I have created an interactive communication artwork that is inspired by cross generational workshops exploring our relationship to communication tech.

The work will be touring across Essex this summer.

12th April - 22nd April 2019

From the 12th to 22nd of April 2019, visitors to the area outside Cambridge Junction will find a series of specially built pavilions designed by architect Charles Holland. Inside these structures, they’ll encounter six interactive and immersive artworks that explore our relationship with emerging technology.

Pieces include 2030, a party set in a 2030 home hosted by a virtual assistant; Datacosm, a multi-narrative film driven by live music and artificial intelligence; Doomsday Blockchain, a memorial to the 21st century that broadcasts hidden messages excavated from the Bitcoin blockchain; TEO, an interactive AI-driven artwork exploring the digital potential to design personalised avatars; Above the Surface, a look at our relationship with material consumption through the lens of augmented reality; and immersive film My fingers distended as honey dripped from your lips and we danced in a circular motion, a dance recorded and performed in 360° video that reorients and disorients viewers in relationship to others’ bodies and their own.

The artworks explore the impact on society of such technologies as artificial intelligence, data culture, and augmented reality. They incorporate live theatre, music, dance, sculpture, film, and animation as well as making use of a variety of the emerging technologies they seek to interrogate.

Participating artists Jo Lawrence, Crowded Room, Adham Faramawy, DDBC (led by Christian Nold & James Stevens), Above&Below, and Henry Driver & Barbara Dougan were all commissioned by Collusion to create these pieces for the April 2019 showcase as the culmination of our three-year in_collusion programme of work. After being selected in November 2017 from more than 120 applicants, they took part in a 12-month research and development programme, working with Collusion’s technology and innovation partners Cambridge Consultants and Arm to explore relevant ideas, themes, and technological solutions.
The show is open daily from 11am to 7pm, and on Sundays from 11am to 5pm

October 20th 2018 - 6th January 2019

Absolutely delighted to be exhibiting in ‘Armistice: Legacy of the Great War in Norfolk’ a major centenary exhibition commemorating the end of the First World War. This powerful exhibition is displayed at the Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery, and is open until 6th January 2019.

On show is LOST LETTERS FROM A LOST GENERATION my newest experimental video game. Based upon my relative Reginald Hunt, and his uncensored letter depicting his first engagement during WW1. Guided by his words, the audience retreads his footsteps during the Battle of Mount Sorrel. Where decimated charges and endless shelling, led to nearly 90% of some regiments being killed or injured. Through innovative use of digital technology, the video game aims to communicate and immerse today’s audiences within the experiences of WW1. As well as subvert people’s perceptions and expectations of video games, that instead of being experiences which commercialise and glorify conflict, they could be used to meaningfully communicate and explore conflict.

New exclusive limited edition artwork for sale on FRAMED*

PERCEPT is an exploration of how computers see the world.

The utilization of machine vision through computer’s superior object recognition, will soon revolutionize our lives through the advent of driver-less cars. However, researchers have discovered that images containing noise or minuscule patterns can easily trick machines into perceiving objects incorrectly.

I have been searching for naturally occurring scenes within the physical world that a computer will perceive as drastically different. Hundreds of photographs have been analyzed, with the computer then being tasked to visualize these scenes via simulation. Every now and again severe misinterpretations of imagery and object occur, leading to the creation of otherworldly representations. PERCEPT is an exploration of this - what does a computer really see and how does its perception of reality differ to ours?

This exclusive artwork developed for FRAMED* further progresses the processes used to create previous works Mimic and Visions, which together, have been exhibited across the UK, as well as internationally during 2017. Notable galleries to have shown these works include The Barbican (London), MUTEK Festival 2017 (Montreal), Firstsite (Colchester) and Outpost (Norwich).

November 2017 - April 2018

7th December 2017

Simulate to Sell is featured in Issue 3 of isthisit?.

"The third issue of the isthisit? magazine is composed of artworks, essays, interviews and one podcast, the overriding theme being virtual worlds, the excessive violence surrounding video game debate and discussion, particularly in the online sphere, alongside video game aesthetics and ideas. In August of 2014, the now infamous movement dubbed Gamergate was born, the controversial campaign concerned issues of sexism and progressivism in video game culture, stemming from a harassment campaign conducted primarily through the use of the hashtag #GamerGate. Within the movement several prominent female figures working within the gaming industry were targeted, particularly game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, as well as feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian. The third issue of the magazine hopes to consider the constructed worlds that we choose to inhabit, the power of video games as an interactive medium, the heteronormative face of stereotypical video gaming and the aesthetics and ideas associated with machinima based art practices."

7th November 2017

I am delighted to be showing work in 'A Latent Reality' at the Barbican, please find more info below and book your free ticket here.

14th July - 12 August 2017

I am delighted to announce I will be exhibiting at Vector Festival in their flagship exhibition!Ben Bogart, Henry Driver, Samantha Fickel, Molleindustria, and Jordan Shaw

This year, Vector's flagship exhibition explores the mediation of human perception through algorithms and machines. It features new works by artists based in Canada, the US, and the UK, including Virtual Reality pieces, video installations, interactive sculptures, and digital environments. Together, the works shown raise questions such as: What might it mean to see ‘like’ a machine? Do LED screens have optical nerves? What kind of vision emerges when artists attempt 'close readings' of software code? How do artificial intelligences perceive their surroundings, and how do they make sense of narratives about AI? Is the social and political meaning of images lost when such images are simulated and commodified? As in previous years, the exhibition showcases both emerging and established artists, and brings into dialogue an exciting mix of creative perspectives that experiment with new and established digital technologies.

PATTERN RECOGNITION: FIVE YEARS OF VECTOR NOW CELEBRATING ITS FIFTH YEAR, VECTOR FESTIVAL SHOWCASES EMERGENT, CRITICAL, AND EXPERIMENTAL NEW MEDIA ART. THIS YEAR’S LINE-UP FEATURES OVER 27 LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS SHOWCASED IN PANELS, PERFORMANCES, SCREENINGS, AND WORKSHOPS THAT WILL TAKE PLACE AT SITES ACROSS TORONTO INCLUDING ARTSCAPE YOUNGPLACE, ELECTRIC PERFUME, BLACK CAT ARTSPACE, CELEBRATION SQUARE MISSISSAUGA, LOOP HOLE GALLERY, AND INTERACCESS.

I am delighted to announce that I have been selected for alt.barbican!

"We can now announce the inaugural cohort of five artists selected for alt.barbican, the major new accelerator for
innovative artists working at the intersection of art and technology in partnership with The Trampery.

Over 230 practitioners applied to the programme and the selected artists, Dries Depoorter, Henry Driver, Jasmine
Johnson, Ling Tan and Magz Hall were all asked to respond to the theme of ‘the subversion of reality’ with proposals
for a broad range of projects including mobile apps, projection mapping, voice manipulation and wearable technology;
exploring subjects as diverse as privacy and surveillance, body image, representations of gender and globalisation.

Delivered in partnership with MUTEK, the British Council, and the National Theatre’s Immersive Storytelling Studio,
alt.barbican is a response to an increasingly fluid creative landscape. As new technologies open up previously
unimagined expressive possibilities, alt.barbican’s six-month programme presents a new model of artistic support,
drawing from entrepreneurial startup culture, to help emerging artists develop their careers." Barbican
