Subpatch Collective

Engaging Technology to Mediate Creativity

Technology expands human capabilities. Yet, as technology evolves to our needs, so too do we adapt to technology. This dynamic between human and artifice is at the heart of Subpatch’s work. By employing gesture capture devices to extend human expressivity into digital domains, Subpatch create multimedia experiences encompassing the range of human experience, from reflective and universal to light and absurd. Subpatch premiered their first large-scale work, A Well-Played Game at the AMOK Festival in York, UK in February 2019. Since then, they have appeared at the VU!3 Sypmosium in Park City, Utah and at the Brunel Museum in London. Subpatch was founded in 2018 by Jared Bennett, Lazar Liebenberg, and Jon Paul Mayse in a table in the corner of the canteen at the Royal Academy of Music.
