from painting to immersive virtual environments."

Collage and the digital
print
This presentation will focus on a series of new digital images, wallpapers,
which are both collaged and printed, exploring how the juxtaposition
of the hand cut alongside the digitally 'cut' and 'paste' impacts upon
the surface of the print through which the image emerges.
10.45 Barbara Rauch
The nature of the
digital surface of thought.
This presentation reveals the progress of producing the video sculpture
‘emotive recall.’ This work is concerned with communicating
multi-linear thought processes, the chosen material here being a dream
report.Within this context, Flusser’s concept of linear thought
versus surface thought and how digital communication contributes to
our new understanding and experience of augmented reality will be discussed.

of Reality
An investigation into the notional virtual space created by an audience

Problems of naming
