Rik Lander's Page

Rik Lander started out as a video artists in the 1980's as half of the Duvet Brothers. The style of this work, Scratch video, greatly resembles what is now known as mash-up. From experimenting in form by literally hacking up the material he moved into non-linear story telling through new media.

After making an experimental interactive documentary on the subject of dimensions (there are 27 of them or something) with theoretical physicist David Peat, he made interactive internal communications for companies like Microsoft and Unilever.

He made magic-tree, one of the UK's first web dramas, which went online in 2001. He produced, directed and script edited Wannabes, the BBC's first interactive soap.



Through his company, You Are Here, Rik act as a consultant for people who want to use social or participatory media to tell stories. He does frequent public appearances and runs courses in several facets of multi-platform production. Including some ground breaking short courses at the NFTS in Feb and March 2010.

He has also directed many hours of television from low-rent entertainment like Eurotrash and the Word to high-brow arts documentaries like A History of British Art and the Turner Prize coverage for Channel 4 for four years.

He has a special interest in sustainable building practices and built the UK's first hybrid using earthship and straw bale construction techniques. This is used as a small blue screen studio in central Bristol that is available for production, rehearsal and events. Bristol Green House studio
