It was my 60th birthday as the plane approached Denver. Seeing the sun setting on the skyline of the Rockies is something I will always remember. But that wasn’t the only special thing. I was here for the Supernova Digital Animation Festival a couple of days later. And after the trials of this year, that […]
This has been an incredible year with some major successes, tempered with some severe set-backs. But what matters is that I’m still here, and the successes outweigh the losses! The latest amazing ‘up’ is another selection for an international exhibition, this time for Future City. Following Supernova in Denver, it’s Foresight Filmfestival in Berlin. It […]
Having Repeat Hikari selected for Supernova Digital Animation Festival again thrilled me plenty. But I now know which category, and that is a real extra. I am one of the 15 Artists selected for the ‘prestigious’ 2019 Competition program, chosen from the many submissions collected through FilmFreeway. A clip is in the sampler above, starting […]
It took a longer time to think this latest video, Art Tartaruga, through for two reasons. One I can’t just was over was a significant actual world injury which restricted my computer use for nearly three months. It is bliss to get back both physically and creatively. But the other was a more usual one […]
Good news… my submission to Supernova Digital Animation Festival has been accepted! Very pleased, for several reasons this year. The video is Repeat Hikari, which also was shown as a part of an academic conference last year. I have previously written a blog post about Repeat Hikari, The Art of Looping and Repeating, and I […]
This the first video I have made for a while, following my enforced break from online activity. The choice took more time to make than surface appearances suggest. My worry was that it was too obvious. There are rumours that Chouchou will be closing soon, so I might just be indulging in personal nostalgia. I […]
I’ve been a bit out of action for a while – I had a serious accident three weeks ago and I’m now in the recovery phase. But even back the I couldn’t completely ignore news of a new exhibition. Tell me a Story, is being held at the Cru Galeria in Porto, Portugal between 4 […]
Over the past few years I’ve had the pleasure of talking with Erik Mondrian about virtual worlds many times. We both have a passion for Second Life as a place where interesting things happen and a place to explore (he as a fox). This curiosity also developed into a deeper study for both of us. […]
There are certain installations or events that I want to video (and interpret) more than others. I am never quite sure until I get there. Either it is its aesthetic qualities or the message it carries – or occasionally both – that catches my imagination or attention. It has been claimed that ‘digital artists suggest […]
One of the things I like to do is blurring the lines between what is called ‘digital’ and what went before. ‘The digital’ is no longer new, nor is it some special space separated off from ‘real life’. Everything we do now has digital or digitised content. While new technologies enable different ways of doing […]
