Susan Collins works across a range of media including sound, internet, video and interactive installation, exhibiting widely nationally and internationally often in public and site-specific locations.
Recent works mainly employ transmission, networking and time as primary materials, often exploring the role of illusion or belief in their construction and interpretation.
Recent on-line works include BAFTA nominated Tate in Space, commissioned for Tate Online, Transporting Skies, a solo show which transported sky (and other phenomena) live between Newlyn Art Gallery Penzance and Site Gallery Sheffield and Fenlandia/Glenlandia an ongoing distributable networked landscape project. Recently completed commissions include a wildlife surveillance system for Sarah Wigglesworth Architects’s RIBA award winning Classroom of the Future, and Underglow, a network of illuminated drains for the Corporation of London for winter 2005-6.
