Say goodbye to the paintbrush and hello to the iPad
Art Stuff 01 Dec 2019

No matter how much you may love your polaroid camera or writing in a notebook, we’ve all got to face up to the fact that the world is becoming more digital. Video and installation artwork is fast becoming a favoured mode of expression and now artists are even using AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) to make their work. And, if you’re not sure who the top female artists are who are using technology as a medium, girl, we’ve got you covered.

⠀ Meet Nicola Plant, our new May resident on Gazell.io. ⠀ ⠀ Throughout this month, the research, movement and coder artist will upload content onto the platform that you can explore through the headset available during our Mayfair gallery opening hours. ⠀ ⠀ Nicolas research interests are human movement and expression, embodiment, intersubjectivity and the vicarious experience of empathy. Her research asks: What qualities of movement convey the intangible aspects of human experience? What does it mean to be embodied? How can technology augment or embody the experience of embodiment? ⠀ ⠀ Nicola has been resident at Fish Island Labs. A creative platform for emerging artists and technologists run by the Barbican Centre and The Trampery. ⠀ ⠀ #Gazellio #may #resident #nicolaplant #virtualreality #vr #digital #residency #fishislandlabs #barbicancentre #london #gazelliarthouse
