Ghost Invaders is a love letter to the golden age of arcade gaming. Take

control of Pac-Man and blast through waves of iconic ghosts — Blinky, Pinky, Inky, Clyde, and Sue — as they descend from the stars in classic Space Invaders formation. With retro graphics and sound.

An interactive installation built for the Gobbledygook sculpture project by Jon Raine. A LiDAR sensor tracks how close a viewer stands, stepping through a video sequence — the closer you are, the more fragmented the object. Made with a lidar and a Raspberry Pi.

Plants produce tiny, fluctuating electrical signals as they interact with their environment. The biosensor taps into this hidden language using a timer circuit connected to probes on the plant's leaves. The circuit reads changes in bio-conductance and converts them into a pulse signal. The result is a live data stream drawn directly from a living plant.

A vintage GPO 746 telephone, retrofitted for the gallery. The bell rings to draw you in; lift the handset and you hear a shuffled selection of audio pieces made by fellow Emerge members. A Raspberry Pi hidden inside handles everything — hook detection, playback, and the ringing bell. 

Firmware running on an Arduino UNO R4 WiFi translates the biosensor's pulse stream into MIDI notes in real time — sent directly to any synthesiser or recorder. A small LED matrix on the board lets you adjust density, range and smoothing. The plant becomes the composer.
