Ernest Edmonds: Light Logic
17 November 2012- 2 February 2013
"A pioneer of computer generated art in the 1960s, and now creating generative sculptural light installations, Edmonds’ work references minimalist constructivism alongside a life-long interest in chance and change. Exploring how new technologies produce new relations between artists, audiences and things, Light Logic marks the first UK solo exhibition of the artist for a decade. Edmonds currently lives between Sydney, Australia and Hathersage, Derbyshire and has exhibited widely throughout the world
This exhibition and conversation has been supported by The Henry Moore Foundation and De Montfort University. Ernest Edmonds has received support from the Computer Art Society and through Arts Council England’s Grants for the Arts."
I went to visit the Site Gallery next to the work station, it had Ernest Edmonds' mathematical artwork on display. The Shaping Space installation had square shapes changing and rearranging themselves every 2 seconds, it reminded me of of the video game tetris and Conway's game of life:
I've learnt that Ernest Edmonds as an artist- generates artwork through a computer and the whole exhibition displays computer generated art. It definitely took me to a different perspective of the digital world, how it has its own coding language and how he constructed art with numbers. The art is generated by numbers through machines which is fascinating.
'A new generation of digital artists is emerging; those who have been brought up on internet, who have no connection to hand-written algorithm or the slow computing of the 1970s.' These type of artists might be responsible for the 'development of art history from dada into digital'.

Prism 13
Prism 13 event
My friend Andy invited me to this event, so I decided to check out Prism 13 on the 23rd November 2012. It was an interesting experience of Sheffield's art culture. I really enjoyed it. The art show contained experimental films on projectors, a live ambient chillwave band called 'Blessa' and lovely mulled wine was sold at the bar. I even ran into one of my sound lecturers Daryll Peat and spoke with him, he had contributed in a sound installation piece. I thought it was inspirational how the sound was intensely cinematic against the animation.
