  Barker is an established media artist and researcher. In a collaborative practice spanning 25 years, their work has been shown extensively both nationally and internationally.

  Major works include the award-winning ‘Struck’ (2005), ‘évasion’ (2014), an ambitious 8-channel responsive installation working across human and cinematic forms of movement; and the multi-channel interactive work ‘HokusPokus’, which explores perception, magic and early moving image technologies. This work represented Australasia in the International Festival of Digital Art (Cultural Olympiad) London, in 2012.

  What has emerged in their practice is a unique visual language using cinematographic and editing techniques, seen especially in the commissioned immersive work ‘pull’ (2017), a key piece in Experimenta Make Sense: Triennial of Media Art (2017–21), and subsequently selected for ‘depth’, at the Science Gallery, Detroit (2019).
