Artist Bruno Martelli collaborates with dance and visual artist Ruth Gibson. Gibson / Martelli create installations and performance spaces using computer games, virtual reality, print & video. The duo are based in London and see their practice as an investigation into figure and landscape, simulacra and the sublime. Until 2010 they worked together as igloo - their first collaboration BAFTA nominated. They have received awards & commissions from NESTA, the Henry Moore Foundation, Arts Council England & AHRC.

They exhibit in galleries, theatres and festivals around the world including The Detroit Institute for Art, the Barbican, SIGGRAPH, ISEA, The Royal Opera House, Royal Festival Hall & 52nd Venice Biennale. Bruno is a visiting lecturer at AA School of Architecture, Slade & Goldsmiths College while Ruth is a Senior Fellow at Centre for Dance Research at Coventry University's School of Art & Design.
