STARTS Prize
fanSHEN make unforgettable creative interventions which are participatory, playful and political. They are a recovering theatre company, who now design and create audience-centric experiences which involve elements of performance, game and installation. They collaborate with designers, computational artists, scientists, musicians, film-makers, writers and all sorts of other people.
They take big, complex subjects and synthesise them into embodied experiences. They are interested in art as a liminal space within which risks can be taken, in polyphonic experiences, and in bringing groups together in ways that challenge the idea that life and other people are frightening. They want generosity, intellectual rigour and radical alternatives.
They have an ongoing collaboration with computational artist and privacy advocate Joe McAlister. His work focuses on themes encompassing metadata, security and embodied interaction, taking a particular interest in how technology can be used to aid progressive discussion.
Together fanSHEN and Joe created The Justice Syndicate (York Mediale, National Theatre of Scotland, ‘Enthralling courtroom simulation which cuts to the heart of what it is to be an informed voter’ 5*s, The Stage) and are currently working on new projects which combine narrative and data in new and interesting ways.
