Digital Commissions

Steve Dutton and Michelle Marie Forrest, with Stephen Gray, 'We are only partly real' (2025)

Every year, we commission new work from early-career artists from Bristol and across the UK. Explore these exciting works below, from games to moving image works.

Spike Island presents We are only partly real, a newly commissioned virtual exhibition by artists Steve Dutton and Michelle Marie Forrest.

Produced in collaboration with digital artist and researcher Stephen Gray, the commission seeks to explore the potential of Virtual Reality not only as a platform to exhibit art, but also as an artistic medium in itself.
