MA Digital Arts Show at Camberwell College of Arts

17 students at Camberwell College of Arts are putting on a special end of year show this July, featuring interactive artworks, video installations, streaming TV and live performance as well as a sprinkling of more traditional artworks. The show brings together face to face and online students from locations around the world including Canada, Greece & Peckham. Although some students have never met, all of them share a common desire to explore the use of computers to make art.

The end of year show is the fruition of a sustained period of project development. Everyone has been pushed into areas of research they had not anticipated, and to learn skills they thought would be impossible. Senior Lecturer in Digital Arts, Andy Stiff, said "These students have travelled together a long way, and peer to peer support has been vital in developing a strong sense of the group, and in producing this show.”

The show, which is free to the public, is from the 15th to 19th of July and you can find directions and meet the students here:

Dan's alternative take. Chop and change as you see fit.

=============================================MA DIGITAL ARTS IS ABOUT LOTS OF THINGS. HAPPILY THERE ARE NO FRACTALS IN SIGHT.

This year's MA Digital Arts final show takes in a massive diversity of work. A piece about navigating the vast openness of the Atlantic Ocean is juxtaposed with the pleasures of being lost in the more confined spaces of the city. An investigation into antimatter is exhibited alongside a static demonstration of matter's movement.

Diversity is something of an inevitability. There are not only now more starting points for artistic enquiry, there are more opportunities to cross paths and more toys with which to play along the way. We'll try not to bore you with the buzzwords ('Mashup, anyone?' 'No thanks, I just ate').

Our lives are increasingly influenced by the exponential growth of new technologies. It is difficult to keep pace with all of this change. Art reflects the world and the concerns of the people in it. It stands to reason then that both the concerns of contemporary art and the media used to present those concerns will change in tandem with this extraordinary carnival.

It is in this carnival that this show stands, however briefly, as one pin point flag locating digital culture; and similarly to the culture we're documenting there is no central binding joining us together. It is with the finer threads that the real connections are made.

We are nothing if not: $defineStudents=array ( "confused", "divided", "united", "random", "multifarious", "hugely intelligent", "big, but relative to what\?", "\(in\)capable of dealing with this lunatic world", "feeling a bit scared", "lovin\' it", "all of teh above", );

code SIMON BALL at Wilson Rd Gallery, Camberwell

Simon's work explores how perception in urban environments is consistently changing in response to emerging technologies. "For the project I've been documenting explorations of London over the past year. This installation places images into an environment that rebuilds the city in response to a people's movement." Primarily an Aftereffects animator, Simon has applied his methods to the open source application PureData, taking his graphics work into an interactive realm.
