Digital Consultancies

If you’re a theatre practitioner, technician, dance or digital artist, who wants to upskill in the use of projection, interactive technology, and projection-mapping for installations or performances, you can benefit from a one-hour consultancy with Nic Sandiland.

We offer hourly online consultancy sessions in projection for performance/installation and live interactive video, based around the industry-standard application, Isadora.

Much of our delivery is based on the Isadora Software, Arduino sensor interface and a variety of motion sensors.

Isadora is an intuitive software programme that enables artists and creatives to manipulate projections in real-time. The software can be accessed for free to experiment and learn with. To create interactive and real-time projection based art you can purchase a licence for as little as £10 per week on an ad hoc basis.

Arduino is an easy-to-use sensor controller used to build interactive and automated arts projects. With the Arduino, you can design and build devices that can interact with your surroundings. The Arduino boards are a tool for controlling electronics. They are able to read inputs with their onboard microcontroller (eg. light on a sensor, an object near a sensor) and turn it into an output (drive a motor, trigger a video or sound).

“The session with Nic was brilliant.
His approach is bespoke and intuitive – following it I have created a whole new playground for myself to explore.”
- Tina Hofman, Theatre Maker Lucid Interval | Artistic Director Notnow Collective
