Don’t miss the chance to see a new exhibition of digital art and media work on display at The Forum over the next few weeks. Work created by local emerging talent during Signal Films workshops in 2009-10 will be open to the public in The Forum’s exhibition area from 21st May through until the end of June.
Classics vs. Futurists (Friday 21st-Saturday 29th May)
Works on show include a digital art exhibition which showcases 3D imagery, animations and moving image created with visiting practitioner, Alt-w award-winning artist Emma Tolmie (www.emmatolmie.co.uk). Working with Emma the artists mixed low-tech gadgetry and high-tech imagery to create striking pieces which explore the relationship between traditional art and culture and the modern digital era.
The art workshops were run as part of Signal Films “Digital ReGeneration” project, which offers opportunities in using digital technologies creatively.
Local artists who took part commented: “A new world has opened for me.” (Gillian Nicholson, Barrow)
“I’ve learnt not to be afraid to try, test and experiment – community activities like this are vital.” (Claire Fryer, Kendal)
“I’ve enjoyed seeing my ideas and visions come to life through digital media.” (Nadine Baxter-Smallwood, Lancaster).
