I am pleased to be presenting a paper at:
LUMIA 1 Symposium 2017, Royal College of Art, London.
On Wednesday 15th March 2017
This is the first event of its type to bring together artist, makers, researchers, engineers and collectors linked through an engagement with light and LUMIA, a process of animated light ‘painting’ developed by American/Danish artist Thomas Wilfred.
It coincides with a major touring exhibition of Wilfred’s work at Yale University Art Gallery and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, USA.

Spaces of Uncertainty
Monday, 05 September 2016 Published in Group Exhibitions Be the first to comment!
As part of the Spaces of Uncertainty Summer Academy in Stuttgart, during September 2016, a number of projected interventions were temporarily installed at the Württembergischer Kunstverein.
Using the disregarded corner of the huge Kunstverein gallery space, these projected light installations 'brushed' the surface of the walls, were present for short periods and then disappeared (when the projection devises were switched of) leaving only the memory of the event.
Walking past the corner - on the way to more significant parts of the gallery, the 'drawn' luminous lines shift, perceptually and clash slightly with our understanding of the edges of the room and how we expect them to appear when we move past them. There is a perspective 'animation' here activate entirely by the viewers visual expectation and their transition past the work.
The Summer Academy (part of the European Erasmus programme) brought together students and staff from 7 partner institutions :
The Hungarian University of Fine Arts (MKE)
Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design
Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow
Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Bratislava
Kingston University
University of Dundee
Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design &
Nottingham Trent University.
Teaching staff lead workshops with students from these European institutions and also developed aspects of their own research through conversation, consultation, collaboration and individual making and testing.
