'Surplus: The Rat, the Tampon and the Laughing Gas'  is a short form moving image art project, depicting three anthropomorphised discarded things  - all real objects found in the streets of Enfield, which are accessable via Augmented Reality as sculptural triptychs, presented as individual microsites. This creates
multiple entry/ access points.

The films are presented as separate files: audio, text, film, AR. The sculptures, seen and manipulated using Augmented Reality via smartphones or/and web browsers.

DYSPLA makes high end experimental narrative based digital art, using performative monologues and innovative technology.
