An animated print – an animated viewer by Dominika Dronska, Leicester, 18-26 August 2011 #digitalart

AN ANIMATED PRINT – AN ANIMATED VIEWER
Dominika Dronska
DMU CUBE Thu 18 – Fri 26 Aug

This exhibition is part of a Masters project that explores the interactive potential of advanced imaging technologies, analysing the creation and spectatorship of animated para-lenticulars created through an experimental art process.

The nine compositions displayed in the Cube combine non-standard lens-based media, lenticulars and collage to create works without precedent in the field of lenticular art. The visuals are based around the theme of movement and include subtle animation effects which are further enhanced by the experimental application of lenticular lenses. This gives an intensified viewing experience that prompts the audience to act and to move the body, enhancing the movement effect. Effectively, the audience co-creates the animation effect becoming a conscious co-author of the postmodern art project.

Free conference: Culture, Creativity and Audience in an Era of Information Openness – London, 21 July 2011, 10.30am-6pm

Public 2.0: Culture, Creativity and Audience in an Era of Information Openness

Free but booking required,

http://www.westminster.ac.uk/schools/media/cream/events/conferences/public-2.0

Date: 21 July 2011 10.30am – 21 July 2011 6.00pm
Location: Regent Campus, 309 Regent Street, London, W1B 2UW

In recent years significant changes in the technological, social and media landscapes have redrawn relationships between cultural producers of all stripes and the people previously called readers, audiences and users. In parallel with this, unprecedented amounts of information have entered the public domain as a result of both top-down policy pressures and bottom-up social activism. This process in turn has given birth to new cultural movements, opportunities for creativity, forms of information visualisation, and modes of content production.

This free one-day conference brings together journalists, academics, developers, artists, activists and business people to reflect upon these phenomena, show work, exchange experiences and signpost future trends.

The conference will be followed by an exhibition opening of work produced as part of Data Art, an AHRC funded research project exploring how broadcast and news data can be reformatted, explored and navigated using information visualisations. The project is the result of collaboration between: the Centre for Research in Education Art and Media (CREAM), the University of Westminster; BBC Learning and BBC Future Media and Technology
