INSIGHT: Digital Dimensions - illustrated talk & discussion

26 September 6pm (doors open 5:30 for drinks)

John Clive has been using computers to create images since the early eighties, and he soon realized that digital was not just a new set of tools for creating artworks but a new medium – with its own aesthetic.

Just as the discoveries of optics changed the perception and portrayal of reality in the 16th and 17th centuries so digital technology offers new dimensions of artistic expression for the 20th and 21st. John will present his personal view on the opportunities and challenges the new medium presents to visual artists.

John was selected to create the artwork which will be printed on mesh and stretched over scaffolding while Phoenix undergoes re-development work.
