Digital Arts In Leicester
Mon, 08 Oct 2012
Earlier in the year I posted about my hope to bring the Alan Turing inspired exhibition "Intuition and Ingenuity" to Leicester. Well, I'm very happy to say that thanks to the support of Phoenix and The Computer Arts Society it will be here in the city for the coming month.
The private view starts downstairs at Phoenix today (Monday) from 6:30pm. All are welcome to attend. Artwork will be on display in the Cube, the Cafe Bar and on Screen 3.
The exhibition runs until 9th November. I will be documenting it here. There will be a "Meet the Robots" day on 3rd November where two art robots will also be on show at Phoenix. This will hopefully be accompanied by talks. I'll confirm as soon as I know the schedule.
There are quite a few other digital arts events coming up in Leicester over the coming months:
- On the 16th/17th November there is the Full Dome (360 degree) Film Festival at the National Space Centre. This event is also here with Computer Arts Society support.
- There will be a Digital Arts Masterclass at Phoenix on 19th November with some amazing speakers lined up. A full announcement will follow soon.
- The 19th November is also the start of my joint exhibition with Genetic Moo at the Phoenix. This is the final piece of work for my PhD and is titled "Symbiotic".
- On the 24th November at Phoenix there will be a Creative Technology Live event in the style of the Max/MSP one in January.
Also, I was recently asked to write something for the Leicester Mercury about digital arts in Leicester. The article will be appearing in the Culture Guide that will come with the paper on Tuesday. There should also be free copies around various venues in Leicester. The text of the article can be found here.
I'm doing my best to maintain a guide to all digital arts activity in Leicester here on my blog. Let me know if you are organising anything else digital arts related that I've missed. Any events that get entered here will also form part of the larger Leicester Events Guide.
