Stranger Visions, Portrait Sculptures Generated from Genetic Material Found in Public Places

new-aesthetic:

“Dewey-Hagborg […] extracts DNA from each piece of evidence she collects and enters this data into a computer program, which churns out a model of the face of the person who left the hair, fingernail, cigarette or gum behind. […] From those facial models, she then produces actual sculptures using a 3D printer.”

Hello 

Please excuse me using my subsample scrapbook for this brief ‘life update’, I’ll try and keep it snappy. 

The last few years have been a bit intense, completing a PhD and bootstrapping the Pixel Palace digital/new media arts programme into the shape it currently inhabits. It has been amazing and enriching, but now is a good time to pause and reflect. 

So, I have two bits of good news. Firstly, I am going part time in my day job. This is a good thing, whilst I am very proud of the work I have done with Pixel Palace I will now have more time to develop my own artwork, writing and other non Pixel Palace related projects. I have a body of work that I am currently in the early stages of researching and developing. I’ll share more on this later. But, for a bit of early insight into what it may be go >HERE<. The other bit of good news is that my role at Tyneside Cinema has changed, I am now the Curator of Digital Media Arts. Brilliant! I’ll be in the building Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays if you need me.

for(){}; - projection mapped video game on canvas

Playable art by Brent Watanabe features acrylic hand-painted canvases mounted on wall, with sprites projected on surface - video embedded below:

In for( ){ };, there is no beginning or end to the game, just collecting and wandering, birthing and consuming, an arbitrary point system rising until your inevitable death and the birth of another generation. It is a game mechanism without the game. An addictive but essentially aimless experience.
The piece is a triptych of playable acrylic paintings, controlled by the viewer using a NES controller.
