The visceral installation artwork Decoding Difference, by UK disabled Visual and Conceptual Artist Zoe Partington, has been selected for exhibition at the London Design Biennale 2023 which is on at Somerset House, Strand, London until 25 June 2023. 

Decoding Difference uses Zoe’s experience of being partially blind and living with diabetes for 50 years. The installation’s light and sound mirrors the physiology of Zoe’s glucose levels and heartbeat, as live captured data is transmitted directly from a sensor implanted within her arm.  

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Zoe to find out more about her living and breathing installation artwork Decoding Difference and what it means to her having the work selected for this major exhibition. 

The biennale is the global gathering of the world's most ambitious and imaginative designers, curators and design institutes. It takes place at Somerset House, London from 1- 25th June. Zoe Partington’s artwork is part of King’s College London’s “Eureka” exhibition, within the Seeking Connection Pavilion.
