Joss Affleck is an artist, designer and creative technologist working across performance, animation, immersive media and participatory experiences. Their practice explores memory, identity, folklore and transformation, often bringing old forms of storytelling into conversation with new and emerging technologies.
Their work ranges from interactive performance and projection to animation, puppetry, creative coding and participatory workshops. Recent projects include The Skin Show, an interactive performance exploring transformation and identity through audience smartphones; Time Travelling Granddad, an intergenerational project exploring memory and dementia through animation and immersive technology; and Sauna Stories, which reimagines folklore through communal storytelling, heat, scent and ritual.
Joss previously spent six years working in film and television as an art director and motion designer, contributing to BAFTA-winning teams and productions for Apple TV+, Netflix, HBO, BBC and others. Their current practice takes that experience into more experimental territory, asking how technology can create experiences that feel playful, strange, intimate and deeply human.
