Newlyn
Art Gallery, Newlyn
Blip@Newlyn
Blip's
first gallery-based event was organized as a forum where
visitors could actively explore the relationship between
art, science and technology. We exhibited some of the generative
art work from the Big Blip 04 as well as work from local
and regional artists. Much of this work was interactive
and encouraged exploration. To facilitate participation
we also organized a number of other activities:Bill Bigge
ran robotics workshops; the Interact Lab demonstrated a
number of their novel user interfaces (on busy days the
whole gallery reverberated from visitors jumping on the
interactive skipping exhibit); and on Saturday 30 October
we ran an open discussion where artist Richard Brown, technologist
Eric Harris and scientist/roboticist/artist Bill Bigge presented
their perspectives on the relationships between art, science
and technology. Over 700 people visited the event over the
five days and the feedback was very positive.
