Henry Driver
Henry Driver is a digital artist and game developer. He creates projects that connect us to our environment and presents achievable responses to climate change.
He has shown work across the world and his videos have been broadcast in over 40 countries. While in the UK he has shown at numerous galleries including Tate Liverpool, Tate Britain, Whitechapel and Barbican.
He was commissioned to create ‘Secrets of Soil’ for BBC Arts and Arts Council England. Secrets of Soil is an interactive journey that explores the hidden world of soil and its role in combating climate change. The project was supported by and inspired by research at the John Innes Centre and his family’s regenerative agricultural practises.
During his residency with Level in 2022, Henry researched and prototyped an accessible digital artwork creating a playful and visually stunning experience that reveals the microscopic world. The residency explored environmental themes focussing on water and rivers, taking inspiration from the rivers Derwent and Wye to experiment and test ideas for their new work, Water Portals.
