PermaCultures Artist Talk: Simon Blackmore

 

Thursday 7 May 6.30pm

SPACE,Hackney

 

To conclude the first Permacultures residency, Manchester based artist
Simon Blackmore will talk about his work and his residency at SPACE.

During his time at SPACE Blackmore adapted an open source rapid
prototyping machine to convert electro-magnetic activity (such as
electro-magnetic frequencies as used by mobile phones) into beautiful
animated drawings. 

 

Blackmore creates sculptures with a lo-fi aesthetic drawing on
influences from woodworking, hobby style electronics and open source
software. The time consuming process of these works aims to question the
role of the individual in relation to the mechanisms of a
technologically driven society. Alongside his solo practice Blackmore
collaborates with Antony Hall and Steve Symons under the name 'Owl
Project'. Combining rustic woodworking, electronics and experimental
music, pieces such as 'Sound Lathe', 'Log1ks' and 'ilogs' have been
exhibited and demonstrated live nationally and internationally.
