Digital Design Drop-In - Susan Collins May 18, 2011

Digital Design Drop-in
Wednesday 18 May
Digital Studio, Sackler Centre
13.00-16.00

Drop in and meet a digital artist. See 'show and tell' presentations of digital design and chat with them about their work.

In collaboration with Keith Whittle, Fountain and Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, this series of Digital Design Drop-Ins explores optics and the five properties of light: intensity, frequency or wavelength, polarization, phase and orbital angular momentum, and how they are explored and shape the work of three leading contemporary practitioners.

18 May: Susan Collins
Susan Collins is one of the UK's leading artists working with digital media. Collins works across public, gallery and online spaces. Her recent works mainly employ transmission, networking and time as primary materials, often exploring the role of illusion or belief in their construction and interpretation. Works include In Conversation; Tate in Space; Transporting Skies, which transported sky (and other phenomena) live between Newlyn Art Gallery, Penzance, in Cornwall, and Site Gallery Sheffield in Yorkshire; Fenlandia and Glenlandia - live year long pixel by pixel internet transmission from remote landscapes; and The Spectrascope, an ongoing live pixel by pixel transmission from a haunted house. Collins is currently the Director of the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London, where she established the Slade Centre for Electronic Media in Fine Art (SCEMFA) in 1995.
