After the recent lockdown period, human interaction became more precious as we grew used to detaching ourselves from other people. From personal yet universally relatable moments like sitting on a park bench in Soho, New York, whilst eating a slice of pizza, to people-watching in a bustling hub, Dawes embraces these moments by recreating them into datasets algorithms and data visualisations. Dawes draws much of his inspiration from popular culture and nature, often revolving his work around the concept of time and memory &#8211; and how these can intertwine. These analytical explorations have been an ongoing theme over Dawes&#8217; career, as he questions our understanding of the surrounding world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/BD_01-rotated.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"811\" height=\"459\" src=\"https:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/BD_01-rotated.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3094\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/BD_01-rotated.jpeg 811w, http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/BD_01-300x170.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/www.doc.gold.ac.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/BD_01-768x435.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 811px) 100vw, 811px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The AI algorithmic visuals will be presented in a unique, site-specific way to recreate the fleeting nature of memories.
