​​“Walking is fundamentally cinematic and moving-image the logical portrayal of moving through a landscape.”
​Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust, A History of Walking
OUTSHIFT invite audiences to navigate outdoor sites on foot using moving image shot from the point of view of a walker. We merge stories about places with live landscapes, nudging outdoor locations into immersive story-worlds. We are interested in human navigation and the connection between perception, environment and behaviour.

 Innovations include using sets of paper flick books as point-of-view navigation tools and mutoscopes installed in situ as hand-cranked augmented-reality. These ideas led to the Monocular, a lo-fi mixed reality device consisting of a lens and app which turns a smartphone into a near-eye monitor. 
"You put me in a magical place somewhere between reality, your fiction and my imagination. I loved the fact that I had to 'walk' to move and 'do' in order to discover the story."
​Participant
"I think you have created a unique kind of visual performance which is as much about the internal landscape of the viewer as the place they are in."
​Liz Whitehead, Fabrica
