Akeelah Bertram brought her interactive installation ‘Return’ to Frequency 2019, which uses parallel portals to combine audience gestures with audio-visual responses, to create a sense of presence between two separate locations.
Find out more about the concept behind the installation at https://www.akeelahbertram.net/ruminations. In the ‘Return Concept’ video, Akeelah delivers a short presentation on her inspiration behind Return at Open Data Innovation Leeds as part of the Northernlands Data Summit at Leeds International Festival. This includes Akeelah explaining more about the aim for this project to culminate in a range of portals connecting audiences on the African continent, with audiences of African descent globally.
