Fabio will talk about his work, which is concerned with the individual and the group from a social, historical and cultural perspective. His practice deals with popular culture in the age of mass information, with a specific interest in the sacred role of data in interpreting and objectifying reality.
His artworks range from kinetic sculptures to screen print, photography, video and installations, and have been exhibited internationally in galleries and museums. In May 2014 he presented Contours: Human-based Interaction Experience at Goldsmiths’ Thursday Club.
Here’s a video we made while wandering around the NIME exhibition this afternoon. The New Interfaces for Musical Expression conference runs at Goldsmiths 30 June – 4 July July 2014.
At the beginning of June, Blog.DoC travelled to Ljubljana, Slovenia to help put together the exhibition YOU / ME / IT.
The exhibition on computational creativity, curated by Goldsmiths PhD student Ian Gouldstone, was part of the International Conference on Computational Creativity 2014 and looked at the ways in which human artists and machines can collaborate. For those who missed it, we recreate the exhibition here…
We’re really excited about the Barbican Centre’s Digital Revolution exhibition of art, design, film, music and videogames, which opens on Thursday 3 July 2014.
It promises to be the most comprehensive presentation of digital creativity ever to be staged in the UK – investigating dynamic developments in the areas of creative coding and DIY culture and the exciting creative possibilities offered by augmented reality, artificial intelligence, wearable technologies and 3-D printing.
Thanks to all who came to our Open Day on 21 June 2014. It was great to talk to so many passionate potential students and their families.
Here’s what visitors to our Open Day stand told us:
Very friendly and professional! I hope I can make it into here!
The campus looks very nice – there is a friendly atmosphere.
There is a lot of information given to students without asking and the teachers are very helpful and approachable.
Very impressed with the lecture halls and the the way I was introduced to the course I intend doing’.
I haven’t had the chance to look around yet but so far it is a very positive atmosphere and very nice staff.
The college is very welcoming.
Good lecturers.
I especially enjoyed the lectures within the computing department. They were very informative and helped me to narrow down my choice of which computing course was best for me.
It’s been a nice place to visit so far. All the staff seem inviting and easy to talk to.
The location in London and the small, campus style of university – it seems very friendly and a good place to learn, work and have fun.
I spoke with a Goldsmiths representative who visited my school twice and was interested from those conversations. My school’s careers department also referred me to Goldsmiths. I love the size of the university and the fact that it is in London.
With its very appealing music computing course (music and computing are two of my key interests) I feel as if Goldsmiths is definitely a great option as opposed to other unis. I also think its proximity to London is very welcoming, along with the friendly impressions I have from coming here today.
If you missed our Director of Studies’ introduction talk to Computing at Goldsmiths, read the PDF notes vision of Computing education at Goldsmiths: rigour, independence, creativity and relevance. And do have a look at his 169 films on Vimeo, including the Introduction to Programming below.
What would The Beatles’ Yesterday sound like if the lyrics had been written by the Beach Boys? Or by Bob Dylan or Madonna?
This lovely new video describes a computational creativity project that models and combines artistic style, for the purpose of helping creative humans achieve a state of flow.
