In Full Colour is a projection-mapped artwork created by Rebecca Smith in collaboration with young people from Derbyshire LGBT+ in Chesterfield. Developed over several weeks, the project combined original sound design and spoken word to celebrate and amplify LGBTQIA+ voices in the local community. The piece was projected onto Bolsover Castle, a site that holds deep personal significance for Rebecca, having been a familiar landmark from her childhood and a place she now shares with her children. Seeing this vibrant celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community illuminating such a historic setting was both powerful and moving - a moment that extended far beyond the visuals themselves. Working alongside the young participants was central to the project. Their thoughtfulness, creativity, and passion shaped the final piece, transforming it into a collective expression of identity and pride. Watching the audience engage with the work - smiling, reflecting, and occasionally moved to tears—underscored the vital importance of creating these kinds of spaces for expression. Commissioned by Dreamy Place and Videoclub, with support from Junction Arts, English Heritage, and Bolsover Castle, In Full Colour highlights the power of community collaboration. In an often polarised media landscape, projects like this offer a platform for young voices to be seen, heard, and truly celebrated.

Taal Yatra - meaning journey of rhythm - is an outdoor light and sound installation that transforms a forested landscape into an immersive experience of global percussion and movement. Created in collaboration with tabla maestro Shahbaz Hussain and a trio of world-class drummers, the piece invites audiences to wander freely through a shifting environment of rhythm and light. At the heart of Taal Yatra is a powerful live score performed by an ensemble of percussionists from diverse musical traditions. Shahbaz Hussain’s South Asian tabla rhythms interlace with the Persian daf and doumbek played by Arian Sadr, and the West African djembe brought to life by Ivorian griot Sidiki Dembele. Each performer brings a distinct musical language, culminating in a powerful crescendo - a shared pulse that speaks across cultures. The natural surroundings are transformed through a responsive system of moving light and spatial sound. Rhythms ripple through the trees, triggering shafts of light that sweep across leaves and wrap around trunks. The use of haze amplifies the beams, allowing light to form shapes and gestures in the air - creating ephemeral architecture that responds to each beat. Visitors are enveloped in volumetric sound and reactive light, experiencing rhythm not just as something to hear, but as something to walk through and feel. Taal Yatra is a celebration of rhythm and connection. Through music, light, and movement, it brings people together in a shared experience. Set in nature and shaped by global traditions, the piece invites audiences to feel part of something bigger - where rhythm becomes a way to connect, reflect, and celebrate together.

Orbit is an immersive projection experience created by Rebecca Smith and co-created with young people from Inspire Youth Arts. Projected onto the historic walls of Nottingham Castle, the piece draws inspiration from the Overview Effect - the profound perspective shift astronauts experience when viewing Earth from space. Orbit explores the delicate balance and interconnectedness of our planet and the wider universe. Blending awe-inspiring visuals with an atmospheric soundscape by Kirk Spencer, it takes audiences on a journey from the explosive birth of the cosmos to the intimate patterns of veins and cells within the human body. In this interplay between the microscopic and the vast, the work reveals the deep connections that bind us all. Moments of digital noise and environmental crisis punctuate the narrative, giving way to images of nature’s resilience and a blooming sense of harmony and hope. The result is a powerful call to pause, reflect, and see the world - and ourselves - with fresh eyes. The work attracted over 21,000 visitors across two evenings at Nottingham Light Night 2025, highlighting the strength of community collaboration and the potential of immersive art to spark dialogue and connection.

Impossible Pattern is a projection mapped installation, inspired by the captivating world of aperiodic patterns — sequences that never quite repeat. These enigmatic forms have fascinated mathematicians, uncovered hidden aspects of nature, and sparked a puzzle that took over sixty years to solve. This large-scale, immersive experience is a unique collaboration between projection artist Rebecca Smith of Urban Projections and experts from the University of Leeds: Professor Alastair Rucklidge (Applied Mathematics) and Dr. Merin Joseph. Together, they've explored the beautiful complexity of these patterns, highlighting structures that are both precise and unpredictably organic, echoing patterns in mathematics and the natural world. Central to this installation is the inspiring story of David Smith, an East Yorkshire hobbyist mathematician, whose discovery of a single, 13-sided shape that tessellates without repeating amazed mathematicians worldwide. Since the 1970s, researchers had been in search of this elusive “Einstein” shape — a breakthrough in pattern theory and a testament to the surprising intersections between art and mathematics.
