D-Fuse
Founded by neurodivergent artist Mike Faulkner in the mid-1990s, D-Fuse is a collective of audiovisual innovators working with environmental storytelling and collaborative processes across a range of media and art forms. From its origins in graphic design, web development and VJing, D-Fuse’s work has evolved to amplify the voices of marginalised communities and draw attention to the complex relationship between daily life and excessive demand for the Earth’s resources. Its creative output encompasses VR/XR, immersive installations, experimental film, animation and live AV performances.
D-Fuse has collaborated on a wide range of high-profile commissions with international partners, including Al Gore, James Cameron, the Eames Office, the British Council, Steve Reich, Beck, Hauschka, Scanner, University College London, Cranbrook Academy of Art, Immersive Media Lab/USC and Eyebeam. With Beck, D-Fuse created the video content for the best-selling Guerro album, and VJ-ed live on-stage throughout the accompanying world tour.
D-Fuse has exhibited at COP26 (Glasgow), COP27 (Sharm El Sheikh), the British Film Institute (London), Prix Ars Electronica, Mori Art Museum (Tokyo), Tribeca Film Festival (NYC) and Museum of Modern Art (San Francisco), Sonar D+ (Lisbon / Barcelona) and the Cannes Film Festival.
