Way back in 2003 Mark Matthews and David Coyle first worked on together on a project called Savant, an interactive museum installation exploring the audio and visual worlds experienced by people with autism. The installation combined interactive video and sound with Flash animation, Shockwave 3D and graphic design.
Savant was exhibited nationally and internationally and won a Europrix Top Talent Award.
The videos below are short outtakes from longer pieces in the installation.
Visual memory: this video was made to introduce the concept of visual memory, a common trait of autism. I made the video and designed the audio.
Girl sifting: this video introduces the repetitive actions in which some people can find solace and happiness.
