Joining the challenge has three simple rules: Post the banner for the month’s theme as well as work in progress on your… Read More →

Black Boxes
Part of my MA final major project. Exploring the metaphor of the black box in relation to machine learning and digital afterlife
Six Centuries
Inspired by the paintings of Rachel Ruysch (1164-1750). The publication includes machine generated images and text as a means of considering the digital afterlife.
Beyond the Boundaries – Six Centuries
Six Centuries explores digital afterlife by reflecting on paintings of the past and images of the future.

It is extraordinary how some seem so close and others are more abstract, a collection of disparate shapes and colours. When I discussed the resulting video with someone the other week, she described it as dreamlike, on… Read More →
Digital Remains: PechaKucha
The above presentation shows the evolution of my work in relation to the notion of digital afterlife. It shows my influences, and hopefully illustrates my developing practice. Please note there are some moderately flashing images at the end. This was the third time I had presented my PechaKucha (a presentation format using 20 slides shown… Read More →
Invocation project show: Rothko, the machine and me
Having once seemed an age away, my next creative practice project was suddenly upon me, I have been focusing much of my energy on the forthcoming MFA interim show in the James Hockey Gallery so adding in this project felt like quite a stretch. Discussion with my co-exhibitor, Tianxing surfaced a number of possible titles.… Read More →
