Spryte is a free, online, artist-led project which presents moving-image works and videos on loop for a duration of 12 hours. These one-off streams occur sporadically, from midday to midnight (UK time) on a given Sunday. We have also recently started Spryte texts, sharing texts.

Our wider ‘programme’ is very open in terms of subject and content - some streams are more audio-focused, others are live webcams, documentaries and other types of footage that sit more outside the realm of artist-made moving-image work (as well as some that are very much positioned within that realm, too). One key thread between all streams is a playful approach to narrative - something that we are deeply interested in and an element which spans many fields and mediums.

Spryte was created and is managed by artists Rashi Rajguru and Cameron Scott.

When Spryte is presenting a stream, it will be visible right here, on our website, where the stream will be playing on the home page for its duration. After each stream is over, the event is noted in our archive to allow future viewers to have the opportunity to learn about all our past contributors.

Spryte always pays artists and contributors to show their work and also keeps the stream freely available to anyone with access to the internet. It is core to Spryte that this is funded by small contributions and donations from multiple people who support the project. It is an active decision to use this alternative funding model which diverges from how many other art projects are funded, allowing us to be independent and show work that we believe in, while also ensuring everyone is paid.

For those who wish to support Spryte, we ask for donations of either £1, £3 or £5 a month (or custom amounts) to go towards directly funding the artist fees and any essential costs to sustaining this stream. With more donations and contributions, we can set up more streams, pay more artists and pay those artists more.
