MyWorld - Strength in Places
Watershed is excited to be a partner in MyWorld, a project led by the University of Bristol that will celebrate the West of England's reputation as an international trailblazer in creative technology and screen-based media.Joseph has been a practitioner in the PM Studio network for many years through several programmes and events and is also a resident at the Studio in Bath.
Joseph's experience of disability – living with pain, physical limitations, disillusionment and disconnection – strongly impacts his practice. He deconstructs, misuses, and repurposes software and hardware to challenge notions of ownership, narrative and visibility.
In 2023, Joseph was one of the first Watershed Fellows in Residence as part of the MyWorld Ideas programme. He spent 10 months in residence at Ultraleap focusing on hand tracking gestures for VR gaming at home. The aim is to create guidance and tooling for game developers through prototyping and user experience research.
