Vision Mechanics leads in encouraging communities to cooperate in the creation of original high quality arts projects. Events are staged all over the country in both conventional and site-specific environments with a strong emphasis on cross-artform collaborations.
Kim Bergsagel and Symon Macintyre are the creative partners behind Vision Mechanics. They met in London in 1978 working for the Little Angel Marionette Theatre. They are artists whose work is predominantly based around the stories of objects. The objects can be figurative as in traditional puppets or landscapes as in the naming of hills and woods. The process often decides what style of puppet/object would be best to communicate the story, i.e. in forests they created giant wicker heads that hung on trees called, “Giants in the Forest”. On a beach they made a shipwrecked series of installations scattered across the dunes called, “Drift”.
