nutter.tv is a project that explores how to portray through a website the experience of being psychotic, or in non consensual reality, from a first person perspective.

nutter.tv grew out of a development project funded by an Artsadmin Digital Bursary. The aim of the project was to explore how to portray through a website the experience of being psychotic, or in non-consensual reality, from a first person perspective. Part of the focus was to recreate the auditory and visual hallucinations and ambiguities that can be part of this state.

After two years of collaboration and experimentation the site was born. Interacting with a Flash environment the user can journey around London on the tube, mixing and triggering sounds as she/he goes. The more you interact with nutter.tv the greater your anxiety and the intensity of the experience become. Sights of interest along the way include Vauxhall Bridge (home of MI5), Clapham Junction station and an air-conditioning duct near Centrepoint?!
