In many ways my work over the last twenty-five years has focused on animating and bringing to life many of the invisible aspects of our world. It has explored the relationship between sound and architectural space and stimulated visitors to deepen their relationship to place.
Indeed many of my projects have tended to celebrate forgotten, invisible or overlooked aspects of the world we inhabit, in ways that embrace both the cultural and historical in a playful, engaging and thoughtful manner. As such this opportunity is very appealing, encouraging a fuller appreciation of the location itself and to raise the profile through local involvement.
I’m interested in the sonification of data and explore aspects of broadcasting, casting people from the past to the future through the work, bringing the ghosts of our past alive with new technologies.

Birdsong - remembering children through birdsong
"The hospice has always remembered children who have died by painting a pebble with their name on it, but now they are using Morse code and birdsong to do something special for hundreds of families.
"We knew from the parents that hearing their child's name is very, very important, so we found a really creative way to link those children's names into a very natural feeling of the birdsong in the environment," Tracy Jones, head of community services and partnerships, explains.
The hospice is working with sound artist Justin Wiggan, who takes the name of the child, puts it into a Morse code translator and then samples birdsong around it." BBC News website (2018)

Internal Garden - Music of the Plants (2018-)
Internal
Garden is part of a 6-month immersive sound art research performance
programme of live investigation, interactive art installation, educational
events and a public exhibition in context of the themes of the sound art and
plant consciousness. It is engagement between public curiosity,
academic research, emerging technology and nature to experience a new
perception of sound art and its role in understanding of how it can help
resilience and wellbeing by use of the technology to facilitate memory health
about green spaces.I have been Working with the Italian company
USA company DATAGARDEN’S MidiSprout, to explore the signals registered
from various plants biometric data , by deciphering and registering the
impulses and interactions of plants with a device that uses a MIDI interface to
transform the impedance from a leaf to the root system of a plant into
music, which gives voice to plant perception.
