Commissioned by Flux Rotherham and Wentworth Woodhouse. A hands-on remix lab for reimagining the noble anatomy of George Stubbs’ horses and hounds.

George Stubbs spent years studying the anatomy of animals — dissecting, sketching, measuring, perfecting. He wanted to understand exactly how every muscle and bone fit together.
I thought it might be interesting if that anatomy just… stopped staying still.

The Horse Remix Station is an interactive sculpture, that looks a bit like a tv glued to a synth. At  the controls visitors can redesign Stubbs’ horses and hounds using a glowing control panel full of buttons and dials. Turn a knob and a leg stretches. Twist another and the head balloons. Push everything at once and you’ve created something that’s either genius or deeply concerning.

Built with Arduino, Unity, and misplaced confidence, the station invites people to play, distort, and reimagine 18th-century anatomy — one bone at a time.

Stubbs tried to understand how animals were built. This machine lets you see what happens when nature starts improvising.
