Timothy Smith
Omar, Fernando Peres
A young, cynical French film student comes to London for the weekend to make a film project for his course. Disillusioned by his London experience, he's befriended by a stranger who shows him a side of the city, and himself, that he never would have seen. The story unfolds through his Super 8 film footage, and his voice-over narration gives us an insight into his thoughts and feelings throughout the journey.

Queer Babel
Timothy Smith
Queer Babel is a provocation, a forced interaction between two different artificial intelligence interfaces. A digital voice, created using AI software, embodies the words generated by a separate AI program, the results of which are surprising and disturbing. The work functions as homage to Alan Turing and all those who have struggled to live their authentic queer lives, but it also invites questions. How can we use technology to disrupt the algorithmic forces of hatred and oppression?
