February Topic:

In February we will be exploring the facinating, quickly evolving and sometimes challenging topic of technology and art. Come along to hear talks from local artists on how they are engaging with technology, utilising and sometimes subverting it in their work.

Speakers:

  • Sian Fan – My work combines movement, the body and technology to explore embodiment, identity, and human experience in the digital age. Drawing on my background in contemporary and aerial dance I suspend, augment, and interrupt the body via choreography and digital media. My work manifests as a meshing of the physical and the virtual, taking form as sculpture, costume, performance, animation, installation, and new media.
  • Alistair Gillan – I’m a native digital creative, embracing technology at every step of the creative process. With a background in graphic design and digital film production, I have started to explore the use of Ai in my artwork. In the same way I love to tell stories with documentary film, I love to try and tell a story with my art. I love to combine texture with vector, strong colour, a subtle detail that’s not always obvious at first glance.
