Adigard and Salter have two decades of experience in exploring the convergence culture and technology. The team’s strength lies in cross media, transdisciplinary, international projects for public spaces, museums, festivals and online. Adigard and Salter not only bring with them considerable conceptual, design and technological knowledge but also project coordination and management experience in large scale media installations. The team works with an international network of architectural, engineering, construction, fabrication and programming talent.

His theoretical interests and artistic practice investigate the role of real time sound, image and technologies of interaction within the context of responsive environments and new forms of interactivity within the genre of live performance. He was awarded the Fulbright and Alexander von Humboldt Chancellor grants for research/work in Germany between 1993 -1995. After collaborating with Peter Sellars and William Forsythe/Ballett Frankfurt, he co-founded the art and research organization Sponge.
