UNDEREARTH
An immersive interactive story of life under the ground.
Connecting with nature through art and technology
UnderEarth is a digital environmentally focused project exploring what happens beneath the ground as spring approaches. Through a series of interactive workshops, Lead Artist, Katt Grover and Mentee Artist, Tina Scahill explore creative coding and digital art with two groups of pupils from primary schools in Andover, Hampshire.
Using their knowledge of life underground, gained from award-winning charity, Andover Trees United, the groups are creating immersive fantasy ecologies, transforming traditional storytelling, and using art as eco-activism.

EXHIBITION

THE CHAPEL TRANSFORMED
Photographs of the exhibition space. We transformed the chapel into an immersive and multi-sensory fantasy world filled with smells of the forest floor, colourful creepy crawlies, talking paintings, augmented reality art, haunting sound art, and animation.
Journey UNDEREARTH
The project ended in an immersive interactive exhibition in May 2022 where visitors were transported through their senses. The exhibition featured crowds of coded creepy crawlies, a soundscape of sleepy seeds emerging from dormancy and art that came to life with augmented reality.
The exhibition featured work created by Year 4 students from Portway and Vigo Primary Schools.
These stop-motion animations were created by the pupils during one of the workshops. The stories were carefully storyboarded prior to filming in groups and they brought their characters to life using paper.
