Fictioning a way through a labyrinthine ecosystem of narrative histories
Practitioners from BSc Digital Arts Computing present the exhibition and public programme “Damned Soggy Oat Patch”. Drawing on ideas and theories from Ursula K. Le Guin’s “The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction” to question and compose a remixed understanding of the fluid boundaries between fictions, fabulations, and non-fictional narratives.
Take a stroll through the labyrinth of installation, game art, mixed reality, video, sculpture, photography and mixed-media as the exhibiting artists play to their narrative strengths, calling to processes of creative symbiosis as ...space, matter, technology, time, and fiction... collide.
Through engaging with “fiction” as an ongoing artistic practice of “fictioning”, “Damned Soggy Oat Patch” provokes the viewer to question and challenge presupposed notions of certainty, linearity and narrative history. By creating, recreating, and re-mixing a range of immersive experiences, the artists guide the viewer through as they re-contextualise the margins between the real, the uncanny, and the otherworldly altogether.

Created in Unity, Nowhere Actually Existing is an exploration of simulation and the concept of a utopia. Through usign simulation as a way to illustrate how a person sees the world, I present my personal view of a utopia with visions of a harmonious ecosystem and sustainable community in tune with the world around it. However, it is merely a simulation; it doesn’t physically exist, and this world could never work. This utopia isn’t real, and it will assure you’re aware of this.

Interactive Sculpture Installation
The digital sculpture was based o a few sketches which were then converted into meshes using Blender
These meshes were then further manipulated and sculpted with Blender to reach a state that was more akin to the original drawings
After the sculpting was completed
I experimented with SLA 3D printing some drafts and tried spraypainting and adding di erent nishes to them to see how this would e ect the nal product
Also tried to make a conductive epoxy putty with Milliput and iron powder but it was not conductive and so went back to printing the sculpture in resin and then electroplating it to be able to attach some sensors onto the sculpture that change the droning sound that the piece produces over time
