This new exhibition of digitally augmented, video mapped, and animated sculptures has been developed by Alex May in collaboration with local, national, and international artists from a wide range of backgrounds, through a three day participatory workshop.
Internationally known artist Alex May is the creator of “Painting With Light” a digital video mapping software, which allows, for the first time, the ability to ‘paint’ with digital video footage in real-time via a data projector onto physical sculptures.
For this exhibition May is has selected a group of very talented artists from a wide range of backgrounds across traditional and experimental media, who learned to use his software and created a series of installations from scratch during the three day intensive workshop preceding the exhibition.
May’s practice artistically explores the boundary between physical and digital by making works that fuse sculpture and digital video projection to create immersive and experiential narrative experiences themed around how we perceive ourselves and the world around us through digital technology.
He is a Visiting Research Fellow: Artist in Residence in the Department of Computer Science at The University of Hertfordshire and has exhibited at many high profile international galleries including Tate Modern in London and The Museum of Contemporary Art in Caracas, Venezuela.
The exhibition and project is funded by Arts Council England and supported by The University of Hertfordshire.
Artist collaborators are Karel Bata, Sylvia Bernat, Louis D’Aboville, Isabelle Desjeux, June Frickleton, Sam Hewitt, Juliet Kac, Bushra Kelsey-Burge, Eik Leknesund Elnes, and Leyla Rodriguez.
