24th February 2011 - Leeds College of Art, Blenheim Walk, LS2 9AQ
How the internet is turning the world wide beach into a global canvas and has given birth to a virtual art collective.
Sue Lawty is the artist in residence at the V&A and was also nominated for this year’s Northern Arts Prize.
Best known for her stone textiles, Sue rocketed from ‘No Computer’ to ‘So computer’ in a phenomenal project that has brought a whole new meaning to ‘interactive museum experience’ to the world. This ground breaking project has showered Sue and the V&A with accolades and is an eye-opening model for anyone seeking to engage minds and spirits to create interactive and emotional experiences for others. This is not just high-tech but highly moving and very smart.
Her work, as reported by arts journalist, Emma Crichton-Miller, ‘is moving, impressive, gorgeous, curious, elusive and enchanting – and never less than though provoking. It complicates and enlivens the debate; indeed, at times it simply silences it, with beauty’.
This event will be of interest to anyone working within or across the creative, media, digital, and cultural sectors in Yorkshire today.
