\r\n

The workshop aimed to open up the possibilities of digital play to a group of level 5 undergraduate graphic Arts students. More often that not the complexities code and programming environments are a barrier to experimental creative exploration. In order to break these barriers down we filled the room with projectors, Laptops, analogue titling machines, […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

An exhibition of digital understandings and misunderstandings by tutors from the Graphic Arts and Design degree at Leeds Beckett University. My role was to curate and to collaborate in the fulfilment of contributors’ digital exhibits. Submitted works spanned analogue and digital formats, including: Sophie\u2019s ARM an Acorn Archimedes with a programmed dialogue written in BASIC […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

“A text is a lazy machine that expects a lot of collaboration from the reader.” Umberto Eco (1992) The Simple Non-\u00adlinear Narrative Engine is an ongoing, collaborative story framework which turns third-\u00adparty text [Ogden’s Basic English] into a non-\u00adlinear narrative. It is an online application built in PHP using a database to deliver a pseudo-\u00adrandom […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

In collaboration with Dr Liz Stirling. A Play \/ Story workshop led by a 3 year old and 4 year old, exploring chance and expectation within play and narrative generation. These were conducted as a series of workshops which supported two experts of play in the fulfilment of their own stories. The components of the […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

A Form of digital concrete poetry. The visuals were derived by constantly looping through (every 60 seconds) the latest upload to the Flickr.com global public feed. The resulting data was plotted on to a portrait canvas and constantly plotted over the previous result a kin to digital screen printing .

A haul of submerged magnetophors\u00a0from the Leeds – Liverpool canal. There is a concept in computer programming which is taken for granted and that is that of the \u00a0object.

A persistence of video-card failures captured before the crash. These digital offcuts – self-sufficient, abstract authors – inform themselves and lead their own narrative. Their pixels plotted in MIDI return a soundtrack and editing rhythm for 16 by 9 slices. Watch the film here.<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>","max_pages":1}
