Forest Keep

Under Co-construction – Launching Oct 2025

Organisation: Electric Medway

Role: Lead Artist

The year is 2064. The height of the energy crisis. Seamless travel between the metaverse and real world is now possible.

​Teenagers Amelia & Jason spend most of their time in the virtual forest at Rochester Castle. After a major power outage the pair become stuck in the forest, alongside its AI creatures who are evolving. To get out they must find a way to the castle keep. But what awaits them inside? And what kind of world are they returning to?

​Set in a future metaverse woodland at the public grounds of Rochester Castle, Forest Keep explores the idea of ‘home’ amidst the climate crisis. The public will be drawn into an augmented reality story trail via mobile, unravelling an interactive multi-path plot leading to the Keep at the castle.

Forest Keep is a co-created project with the young people of Medway, in collaboration with artist Adam Glen and Electric Medway.
