] About [
Ben Fredericks [Collaborations] is an interdisciplinary creative group, headed by Ben Fredericks. Their work explores how interactive narrative’s, can create a powerful immersive experience that allows the viewer to have a deep engagement with the work and its ideas.
Ben Fredericks (1982, Nottingham UK) is an artist who works in interactive theatre, Extended Reality (VR/AR), installation, and moving image. Their work is highly influenced by cinema and narrative structures in storytelling. They often tackle highly contentious ethical issues that explore both sides of difficult subjects, to challenge audiences’ preconceived ideas.
