Weir, MFA Computational Studio Arts"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"<\/a>Catherine is in Year 2 of our MFA Computational Studio Arts<\/a> programme here at Goldsmiths. Here Cat tells us more about herself and her Year 1 final project which was included in the MFA degee show, Nowhere in September 2012.<\/p>\n

Catherine works with photographic and digital media to explore the ways in which our sense of memory, time and of place is shaped by evolving technologies.\u00a0 Her work often blends elements of what may broadly be termed analogue and digital practices in an effort not to extol the virtues of one over the other, but to examine the relationship between the two and to reflect on their distinct material and emotive properties.<\/p>\n

Her work has been exhibited widely at galleries in both Scotland and London, where she currently lives and works.\u00a0 Past exhibitions include\u00a0New Contemporaries<\/em> 2011<\/em>\u00a0at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh and\u00a0Futureproof 2010<\/em>\u00a0at StreetLevel Photoworks, Glasgow. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Her present research is concerned with the materiality of the photograph and the significance of the index within a digital framework.\u00a0 By exploiting the meta-data embedded in every digital photograph to create locative, time-based works, she questions if this data may equate to a digitally-constructed index comparable to the physical trace carried by celluloid film.
