<p class=MsoNormal><strong><b><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";font-weight:normal'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></strong></p>
