About

Revealed: Triptych is a rich digital visualisation with striking imagery and compelling audio that combines film, Augmented Reality and a video game celebrating local mining heritage.


A canary escapes from an underground coalmine revealing a multi-screen digital film projection using immersive graphics, documentary archive film and drone footage. Inspired by the 1984/85 Miners’ Strike to the present day Revealed: Triptych is a tribute to miners and mining communities.


Triggered by a QR code, visitors can interact with Chloe, a digital canary held in the palm of their hand, offering an engaging and fun experience for children and adults alike.


Chloe is also the heroine of ‘Rollerbird’, a new light-hearted fun mobile game that pays homage to the tiny yellow bird that saved so many miners’ lives. Rollerbird invites players to fly Chloe over Wakefield district uncovering the collieries that were still in operation at the time of the Miners’ Strike.


Revealed: Triptych is produced by One to One Development Trust, an award-winning Wakefield-based arts organisation inspiring positive change through immersive storytelling using film, game design, and XR (Extended Reality) technologies.

With an extensive portfolio, One to One’s work has been screened or exhibited in many locations including The British Library, The National Mining Museum, Science Gallery London, Workers Unite Film Festival New York, London Film Festival, Aesthetica Film Festival York and Sheffield DocFest.
