DATA_SCAPE-CV19

08 05 2020//

New Blender 3D image Data_scape-CV19 for ISOLATION – The London Group online exhibition during Covid-19 lockdown May 2020. Kindly curated and organised by Darren Nissbet LG.

Please see previous post for more info or use this link to view the exhibition, online until June 12th 2020: http://onlinegallery.thelondongroup.com/

‘My work often interacts with whatever is happening in 24/7 rolling news media. For this new image, Internet searches using keywords *Covid-19* and *Coronovirus* resulted in random visuals including; multiple styles of protective face masks; spikey, predatory-looking magnified virus structures; PPI; infographic curves & bar charts. Which are all used as displacement modifiers in Blender 3D to form ambiguous, complex structures/ textures as a continuation of recent DATA_SCAPE series of images’

ISOLATION

05 05 2020//

During lockdown, I have a new Blender 3D image in this new online The London Group exhibition ISOLATION

Do visit, there are many different artworks in diverse media in an online virtual gallery format, online until June 12th 2020.

http://onlinegallery.thelondongroup.com/

Isolation and solitude are words that most visual artists will relate to, they work alone in a studio, a shed or at home so the prospect of enforced isolation may seem like the perfect time to make art.
At the moment things are different though! It’s not just isolation or social distancing, the entire fabric of society has been ripped apart before our eyes.

This exhibition shows how The London Group artists are reacting to the current social and world climate

Featuring work from 51 members in all mediums. Take a walk, wall by wall through digital renditions of colour, movement, form and texture.

In The Dark 2020 : EVEN DARKER

Jan 06 2020//

Inspired by the popularity of last year’s exhibition In The Dark Jan 2019, The Cello Factory, Waterloo The London Group are hosting an even darker sequel this January 8th – 11th In The Dark : EVEN DARKER

I will be projecting a large-scale and recent 3D image onto black fabric which will be installed in the exhibition space.

The London Group are hosting an Even Darker sequel combining members’ work with artists from Flux Events and the Computer Arts Society (CAS). This will be a four day experimental show in a blacked out Cello Factory with talks and performance curated by The London Group. As before, the one stipulation is that the artworks either generate their own light or can be projected onto. This simple rule means all the works interlink and the whole group exhibition becomes a foreboding installation filling all surfaces of this unique space.

“The world we know and understand now will no longer exist in the near future. Although the speed of change fueled by science and technology is remarkable, it often goes unnoticed, because the deepest structural changes happen almost imperceptibly and quickly become norms. We have entered a period of instability, many of our assumptions and certainties are blown up. Every day, our expectations and forecasts are reversed.”

Self Service

Delighted to be invited to show a new video ‘perpetual browse_r_2‘ in this exciting upcoming exhibition ‘Self Service’ curated by Genetic Moo and David Theobald.

Flyer by David Theobald

‘The age of automation will be the age of do it yourself”, Marshall McLuhan


More and more we are being asked to do things ourselves. From shopping to car insurance, services that traditionally required a human representative have been redesigned so that customers complete their business interacting only with machines. Some might argue this gives us more flexibility and choice and while others see us all becoming unpaid employees, required to do the work in order to access what we need.


Taking its lead from the check-out counters of supermarkets and petrol station forecourts, this exhibition brings together 20 moving image works that respond to this idea of ‘self-service’. Works were contributed by members of the London Group, invited artists and artists chosen from an open call in response to the title.
