Three MA\/MFA Computational Arts graduates have been shortlisted for the prestigious\u00a0Aspen Online Arts Award 2016.<\/h2>\n

Angie Fang, Lior Ben Gai and Matilda Skelton Mace all graduated from Goldsmiths in 2015, following their degree show exhibition EXCEPT\/0N<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"angie\"Angie Fang<\/strong> is a UK-based Chinese digital artist who works in digital media, audio visual performance and interactive installations. Her online video work is created entirely in C++, making use of complex 3D OpenGL and digital signal processing techniques entirely of her own devising.<\/p>\n

Her work\u00a0focuses on the tension between sound, space and visual elements, and also the subtle experience between the technology synthesized and the reality. Her works, Nito , L-Pattern, Bud<\/em> and Organic Flow<\/em> were exhibited at the Victoria & Albert Museum<\/a>; and the immersive installation Under the Water<\/em>\u00a0installed in Hotel Elephant gallery. Outside of her academic research, she also gained experience working for Studio XO and United Visual Artists.\u00a0bongbongsquare.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"lior\"Lior Ben Gai<\/strong>\u00a0is an Israeli digital artist, working in various digital mediums since 2008. His\u00a0work explores potential intersections between artificial life and synthetic biology, examining notions of \u2018lab aesthetics\u2019 whilst creating experiences that rely on his strong visual sense.<\/p>\n

As an independent artist, Lior\u00a0explores generative strategies and computational creativity to produce expressive software, animation and sound. He is emotionally drawn to computer generated graphics, strongly believes in project based learning and enjoys thinking about things he never thought about before. His\u00a0commercial works include museum installations and exhibits, mobile games, web applications and custom interactive software.\u00a0soogbet.net<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"matilda\"Matilda Skelton Mace<\/strong> is a London-based artist and designer, working with the building blocks of reality, space, light, and geometric form.\u00a0She creates her own interactive systems in C, C++, Processing, Java and HTML5.<\/p>\n

Her work features strong use of projection and materials to transform physical space, creating sculptural interactive digital artworks.\u00a0She\u00a0is interested in the \u2018in between\u2019, exploring ideas of implied, imagined and virtual space, the dissonance that can arise between real and virtual and the way we perceive it. This year she was shortlisted for the HIX Award 2015<\/a> and has exhibited at galleries, nightclubs and festivals.\u00a0belikeotherpeople.co.uk<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
