Here’s an expanded overview of key digital arts practices, including emerging technologies and platforms: Digital PaintingUsing software and digital tools such as tablets and styluses, artists create paintings that mimic or extend traditional…

My art practice is THE NETWORK… The following 3 points summarise the three learning outcomes of my MA. I’ve been enabled to take a long hard conceptual look at the last 2 years… …the rest is all storytelling… 1. Realisation Over the course of my MA journey, I have developed a body of work that…

Trigger warning: Flashing images, themes of Climate Chaos, War, Death, Global Anihilation, Sex… sadly no rock and roll… some funky music though… A Massive Amount of Community Art Activism and fish… An Agender Penguin, a Non-binary Polar Bear and a Nasty Oily Orca… and a lot of Art… nice… https://youtu.be/dHpbdGRtDKk?si=HUTOS8h3SXGptsHl

I thought I’d reflect on the Miro feedback, I will listen to the what worked for me later… (with a box of tissues) Reading the Miro comments was fascinating because some of you understood my practice, and some didn’t! This means that, in real terms, I haven’t fully explained it. That’s pretty important for me!…

First will there be a future? Yes if we are brave and bold… The Earth will exceed 1.5c warming. The IPCC report says large parts of the Earth will become uninhabitable shortly. Which means mass migration, government instability, civil unrest and war. The climate is not only getting hotter, but it is becoming unstable. If…

Well, by Mid-way through the interim exhibition/ low-res, I was laying in bed looking at videos my coursemate Madeline Kay had sent me… It’s all about pacing…this always was as much about logistics as art, about friendship and connection… about coping with physical disability and my ability/inability to look after my body… My minders have…

I’m going to tell you a story. I am always doing that, but this is to give you context. A long time ago, a junior British Airways airline pilot (me) was posted to the Boeing 757/767 fleet. This fleet operated on ‘bidline’ rules. Each month, each pilot had to bid for the trips they wanted.…

Learning Outcome 1: Formulate, describe and implement a challenging and self-directed programme of study, relating to your Study Statement.(Assessment Criteria: Enquiry) I formulated this program overlayed on the course calendar. It’s pretty full for the first 20 weeks because that’s what’s already or is about to happen. The rest of the units are deliberately vague……

Title : Speculative Identities Examining the solutions for Climate Mindfulness through the lens of Gender Identity and its Intersectionality with Climate Chaos, Queer theory, Ableism and Emerging Technologies Aims and Objectives… I aim to develop new knowledge and affect change through the interplay of ironic materiality, social rendition and emerging technologies through my active…

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…

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…

This is the first skeleton draft of my study statement, as a skeleton goes it has some sizeable bones missing. I’ve been continually editing this but I’ve stopped now and made a new duplicate document to work on for submission in February. Title : Speculative Identities – AI, VR and AR and its Intersectionality…

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 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…

I went out last night to an LGBTQ fundraiser gig with Aim King and their new band ‘Internet Fatigue.’ Their flatmate said, ‘Aim has never done the same performance twice; it’s always changed.’ … that’s because it’s in development! I didn’t do the tweaks on the animation last week. I told myself it was because…

What is self-reflection? Artistic realisation? This week, I have cried with a fellow artist about the passions of art… I went to a student print exhibition and saw my old university mates, got drunk with my fellow artists and talked about art life… I listened to another disabled artist on my MA about their experiences;…

When I came to write this post, I was looking at my notes from the last two weeks of workshops and our first course meet up. After my sketchbook work today, it was no longer possible for me to separate them into tidy chunks of information. They had already started to coalesce into their own…

What a start to my MA, two weeks of academic workshops, then today meeting our fellow course members… we had breakout rooms and a chance to talk to our fellow course members. They are all so inspirational! From around the world U.K to N.Z. and with such diverse practices it is both exciting and challenging.…
