BEKA HAIGH – THE BOX / #HOUSE

The Box / #House (via Lowry Artist Development Programme)

Artist and illustrator Beka Haigh, working with technologist Nick Sparks, creates interactive experiences where audiences directly shape the action through live commands.

In #House, audiences become “ghosts” haunting a 3D-modelled house, triggering sounds, visual glitches, and unexpected interventions that disrupt two estate agents trying to sell the property. By issuing prompts and choices, participants collaboratively steer the performance in real time.

Beka’s new Lowry commission, The Box, expands this technology into a more complex narrative inspired by the myth of Pandora’s Box, where audiences manipulate elements of the story world to create unique versions of the tale.

Experience #House tonight in an open, walk-up environment—haunt the house via interactive inputs and see how your collective decisions shape the action. Plus a preview of The Box’s development.
