Become a Video Game Character.

Become a video game character in a live art installation at Gallery North, Newcastle.

Are you based in or around Newcastle Upon Tyne? Artist Ducky Elford and BxNU—a collaborative arts partnership between Northumbria, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen Universities—are looking for local residents to help shape a groundbreaking new interactive artwork. Commissioned through a public citizen jury to explore themes of control, power, and algorithmic filter bubbles, this project transforms everyday human stories into a dynamic digital world where every interaction alters the surrounding environment. We are inviting local participants to be 3D-scanned, interviewed, and featured as interactive AI-driven characters within the game. The finished work, featuring custom physical controllers and interconnected artworks created in collaboration with artist Owen Logan, will be showcased at Gallery North in Newcastle.
