At Fort Dunree Tamsin focussed her research on the topography and architecture of the Napoleonic fort. She began a process of digitally mapping the fort, researching new technologies such as LIDAR (Light Imaging Detection and Ranging), a remote sensing technology that uses laser scanning to collect height and elevation data. She collated data from historic and recent maps of the fort and surrounding areas and with this she experimented with new technologies such as photogrammetry and attempted to build digital models of objects from the site which she aims to include in a new CGI animation
Tamsin Snow explores the relationship between art, architecture and design, constructing large scale built environments, virtual reality sequences and CGI animations in order to raise questions about the political and ideological underpinnings of architecture and social spaces. Her proposal for the residency at Fort Dunree was to undertake an enquiry into the architecture of Fort Dunree, the notion of the Fort or Bastion and the legacies of such models in modernist architecture.
Tamsin Snow lives and works in Dublin and London. She completed a BA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths University, London (2008) and an MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art, London (2012). Upcoming exhibitions include Cross Sections, Curated by Basak Senova, Kunsthalle Exnergasse, Vienna (2018) and Showroom, Block 336, London (2018). She was the recipient of the HIAP/ TBG+S Residency Exchange 2017.
