My name is Hilary Knight, I'm a Senior Consultant at AEA Consulting. My guest today is multidisciplinary artist and designer, Jason Bruges. Although he's based in London, Jason's work can be seen all over the world.
His studio has become internationally renowned for producing innovative installations, interventions and ground breaking works that sit in a space between architecture, site specific installation art, and interaction design. Jason is passionate about creating site specific pieces that engage people with their environments. And you might have seen his works in places as diverse as hospitals, public concourses, airports, metro stations – and if like me, you're in the UK, as TV idents.
