Pioneers in the use of light, sound and technology, Squidsoup’s artworks combine physical and dynamic digital spaces with novel and intuitive forms of interaction to produce responsive and beguiling environments. 

Their work has been seen by millions of people across the globe since 1997 in galleries, museums and live events, festivals and exhibitions. Recent exhibitions and events include: Vivid Sydney (AUS, 2023), London’s Alexandra Palace (2019, 2023), International Centre for Light Art (DE, 2022-2023) Burning Man Festival (USA, 2018, 2019), Canary Wharf (UK, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2023), Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History, (CA, USA, 2021-2), Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (USA, 2017, 2019), Noor Riyadh (KSA, 2021), Ars Pedregal (MEX, 2019), Salisbury and Gloucester Cathedrals (2015, 2018, 2020), and a permanent exhibition in Houston (USA).

Their key work Submergence has been exhibited over 100 times on six continents.

Their collaboration with renowned DJ/musician Four Tet has developed over 8 years from a small conventional live stage-based lighting system to a radical fully immersive experience enveloping both audience and performer, breaking the boundaries between the two, merging artwork and performance, the virtual and the real into a unique augmented experience.

Working with partners in a variety of winter light festivals has allowed them to present their work to a broad demographic of more family-based audiences across the globe at events as varied as Vivid Sydney (AUS), Lyon’s Fête des Lumières (FR), Royal Botanical Gardens’ Christmas at Kew (UK), Canary Wharf (UK), Brooklyn Botanical Gardens (USA) and Illuminate Adelaide (AUS).
