Crowd Control [ 1 ] was a month long interdisciplinary experiment creatively exploring the collective interactions between individuals, groups and their environments.
​
By connecting visual, digital and performance art practices with contemporary scientific research and urban design , Crowd Control explored human communication, cooperation and collective intelligence in Hackney Wick, East London.
​
The collaborative platform was established by Heather Barnett and the Arebyte Gallery [ 2 ] in Hackney Wick, it will be featured in a Viceland Documentary on Collective Intelligence.

¬ SUMMARY
​
As well as creating a series of graphic explaining the different games and the theoretical principles behind them, I also collaborated with Andreas Philipopolous Mikalopolous a scholar at the Westminster Law and theory Lab [ 3 ].
In collaboration we designed a game 'Escaping the Lawscape' which uses social media documentation [ 4 ] and gaming mechanics.
It aims to find a new medium through which participants can reconsider and reacquaint themselves with the intangible network of consensus and expectation that operates upon us as we move through shared social spaces.
​
For the Crowd Control: Testing Station Exhibition i contributed a sculptural form exploring the patterns manifest through the collective behaviour of human being in the urban environment.
