For over a decade, Shaun Irons and Lauren Petty have been working collaboratively, seeking a provocative and poetic synthesis of video, film, audio, sculptural objects, and performance. They have made numerous multiple-channel video/sound installations, single channel works, a feature-length documentary, and interactive video scores to accompany live performance.

Shaun and Lauren's work has been seen in diverse locations in New York and internationally including The Brooklyn Museum, Ocularis @ Galapagos, the Museo Nacional in Havana, Cuba, Rencontres Internationale Paris/Berlin, The Tokyo Wonder Site, Japan, and was screened on PBS's Reel New York. Recently, they completed an installation for The Chocolate Factory, collaborated on a performance installation, which debuted at The Abrons Arts Center, and exhibited various projects at the Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe, and the Governors Island Art Fair.

Shaun and Lauren actively design video for performance and have collaborated with a wide range of artists including The Wooster Group, Richard Foreman, and Phantom Limb for venues such as St. Ann's Warehouse, The Public Theater, HERE, PS122, 3LD, The Pompidou Center, The Holland Dance Festival, and the Venice Biennale. Most recently, they created a video environment for Phantom Limb's 69°S, which recounts the story of Shackleton's journey to the Antarctic through music, image and marionettes. An early version of the piece debuted at the Noorderzon Festival in Holland, continued development at EMPAC, and premiered at BAM as part of the Next Wave Festival in fall 2011. In addition, Shaun and Lauren are actively engaged in developing Keep Your Electric Eye on Me, a new installation and performance work commissioned by HERE Arts Center.

Throughout their careers they have received numerous awards in support of their work including two New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowships in Video, multiple grants from The Greenwall Foundation, The New York State Council on the Arts, the Jerome Foundation, The Experimental Television Center, The Asian Cultural Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. They have received residency fellowships from The MacDowell Colony and Yaddo and were visiting artists at the Tokyo Wonder Site, Japan.
