My daily digest of Emerging Technology consists of reading and note-taking on the loo. There is lots to read, and the rabbit holes are many. The definition that the European Parliament used for its latest legalisation (the only one in the world at the moment) for ‘controlling’ AI is as follows… “For a given set…

I haven’t used the group’s reflective questions as yet. I hope in my blog post that I do reflect on my work and practice, but I thought it would be an interesting exercise to use them to compare and contrast the two films together I made over the winter break. Both were rendered in colours…

The concept of plurality within the context of a Contemporary Dadaesque practice finally clarified the understanding of the intersectionality of Gender Identity, Ableism and Geo-political climate crisis. It’s important to note that the body doesn’t possess a gender, as gender and sex are not synonymous. Being outside the binary simply implies that the presented gender…

I spent the week in London, catching up with art friends, visiting Kusama at the Tate Modern and attending the Embodying Horizons event at the CCI: UAL run by the Feminist Internet in preparation for my co-hosting this week’s reading group today and next week. To say this last week has been seminal in…

Truth is a very dangerous word mediated by time, platform and culture. An unguarded innocence creates a paradox, elements that stick together and order what we can’t control. Fixed cultural concepts of certainty are conceived to avoid madness. We crave to understand concepts as immovable truths. In the end, this leads to cultural stagnation and…

Some days feel like an uphill struggle; well, we can all identify with that, I am sure. However, if you are disabled, it becomes an absolute sh*t show at times, and you ask yourself, why do I do it? I could sit on the furry deck chair looking out to sea minding my own darn…

Well, it’s complicated! I breastfed for eight years! I was an LLLI breastfeeding counsellor; however my best friend Helen and my beloved Aunt Dina died from breast cancer.

There is a lovely little art gallery over the road from me, run by the irrepressible Sadie. We share a passion for sustainability and fairness in the world and art. It was there that I met Jessica Baudey the other week; she is about to run a printmaking workshop for the gallery in December. We…

I have spent f*cking hours on this, and I bloody hate it… I thought I could ignore aesthetic sensibilities and know that the conceptual underpinning was sound… well I can’t!!! It looks sh*t, and I hate it! Why? An art practice is like a pianist practising their scales, right? Nope, not really, as you might…

I was in my art brain space. I left the Thursday sesh, and my brain was attuned to new possibilities. I’d watched the politics program on BBC 2 just before the meeting; it’s always provoking. What is bias? Only what you perceive, I reckon! AI, VR and AR don’t know these acronyms?… You need to…

Desensitize. To unimaginable violence. Alliterate our stark inequalities. Proliferate our vehemence to sodality. Insignificant to all. Love redressing our nugatory. Our euphoria short lived but precious. We sell our attachments dearly. The pain of loss. There is a temporal beauty in that…
