Kit Monkman is one-half of KMA, a collaboration with fellow media artist Tom Wexler. Their work is primarily focussed on illuminating, encouraging and developing interactions between people in public spaces using projected light

Uniquely in the history of creative urban lighting, KMA choose to prioritise the illumination of people and their relationships over the lighting of buildings and edifices. Rejecting the historical notion of the citizen as a passive spectator, KMA’s work celebrates the dynamics of human movement rather than the facets of historic buildings

They create large, immersive, sometimes networked, ‘digital playgrounds’, in which distinctions between audiences and performers disappear. The resulting social engagements reaffirm the urban community through embodied, rather than verbal, discourse

Through a diverse range of commissions, including those from the ICA, the Royal Opera House, and the Dublin Docklands Development Authority, KMA’s work has consistently received extensive national and international acclaim
