‘Small World’ Projection Mapping, Adelaide Festival, Australia 2015
Collaborating with the microscopy department at The University of Adelaide, 'Small World' reveals the hidden and unseen, using scanning electron microscope images of materials found in and around Adelaide to construct a visual interpretation of the region on a monumental scale. Collected samples, including plant life, insects, pollen and rocks/minerals, were magnified and projected onto the geometric facade of the Festival building. The use of dynamic animation and sound, digitally composed by Ant Dickinson, portrays material surfaces as alien landscapes for exploration, in which the viewer is transported on a journey through the very fabric of our world.

< 'Heaven to Earth' 2011
Animated moving image projection mapping onto Conwy Castle as part of Blinc Digital Arts Festival UK.
'Heaven to Earth' explores what is invisible from the human eye and ear. Working with scientists at Bangor University, Jessica used optical and SEM microscopes to capture images of the Castle stone, plants and insect life. Ant Dickinson's soundscape is constructed from manipulated resonances and reverberations recorded in and around the Castle. Image Credit: David Edwardson
Reviews:
Jessica Lloyd Jones and Ant Dickinson, Heaven to Earth was both a site-specific installation and also a large-scale projection on the castle walls. Both pieces complimenting each other very well, each showing the same imagery, but on very different scales. This must have been very challenging when the original concept was derived from microscopic photographs of the castle walls. Ant's score was well rounded the work itself was very succinct, and possibly one of the most powerful pieces in the exhibition.

Lloyd-Jones' Heaven to Earth. Another artwork contemplating the very structure of the castle. By taking microscopic images of the very fabric of the building she offered us a very thought provoking and humbling view of the world. In the tower we saw the piece projected onto a 1 metre sized rear projection screen. We later saw the work magnified 100 times on the castle walls. The whole piece from its tiny slides through to the spectacular projections were sublime. Ants accompanying score was a triumph. The collaboration probably one of the most successful at the festival.
