Barnaby Steel presenting at the IEN Summit.

Marshmallow Laser Feast: “Where do you end and begin when sunlight is under your skin?”

What is it like to be a tree? To see the world through the eyes of another animal? To breath yourself into your own body? These are some of the ideas Barnaby Steel, (co-founder and creative director at Marshmallow Laser Feast) will be exploring in this talk. Their work uses technology as a means to expand our senses, creating perspective shifts on ourselves and our relationships to the more than human world.

We tell stories that untangle, entangle and flavour our reality, blurring the lines between art, immersive experiences, XR and film. Alive in galleries, museums, public spaces, parks, nature reserves and the metaverse, our work is grounded in research. Designed to carve out space to expose, explore and expand our relationship with the living world.

This talk was recorded at the Immersive Experience Network Summit in October 2024 and is supported by Arts Council England and our industry partners Illusion Design & Construct, Mance Communications, White Light, Deterministic, Immersif, d&b audiotechnik, Scene2, Little Lion Entertainment, Entourage, and Vista Insurance.
