Artists Join Me – One of my project goals was to gather perspectives about AI generated art from a wide variety of people across the arts industries. I have already begun to ask some of my colleagues who lecture in art and design and some of my students. I was also absolutely delighted when a number of high profile artists agreed to give me quotes and share their thoughts on AI art. More about this can be found on my ‘Balance of Power Book’ blogpost.
Gallery Interest As it’s a very busy time of year at work, I haven’t had a great deal of time to think about galleries. However on Saturday I wandered into a new contemporary gallery in Dartmouth. I had seen a large piece in the window which comprised stripes of colour. The piece was similar to a series of ‘Touch Designer’ works that I had completed earlier this year, but as the viewer moved past the colours on this piece changed. I was intrigued and wanted to learn more about the artwork and the artist who created it. I discovered that the artist was Lawrie Hutcheon who just like me enjoyed creating computer generated art.

I explained that I hadn’t, and she said that her husband (the gallery owner) might like to talk to me further about pieces to go into the […]

En Route to the MACBA Beautiful Light at the MACBA Before launching into a gallery of artworks at the MSCBA, I want to highlight both the beautiful architecture and light of the building. I was completely ‘taken’ with the stunning light that streamed through the huge windows of the building. Indeed I felt that the atmosphere created by the large windows, together with the clinically white interior, architectural angles and vaulted ceilings, warranted a mini photographic project all of its own. Therefore I decided to take some time out to shoot some of the beautifully lit interiors that were flooded with natural light. Below is a photo gallery of a photographic study of the light at the MACBA Self Publishing a Small Book of Beautiful Light at the MACBA On realising that I had produced so many interior images of the MACBA, I decided to try out a few page layouts. I felt that the images worked well together, so I decided to […]
