Digital Aesthetic3 2012 Art in a Digital World
6 October 2012 – 5 January 2013 Digital Aesthetic3 2012 brings the cream of the international digital art world to Preston to showcase the latest and best in digital art through exhibitions, events and a two-day conference. Artists have always experimented with, and pushed the boundaries of, the advances in the technologies and techniques of their day to create work that reflects their view of the world. The artists in Digital Aesthetic3 2012 embrace this philosophy, creating art with everyday technologies such as interactive games (that you can play), photographs and videos. However, appearances can be deceptive … look closer and discover details and meanings not seen at first glance. The exhibitions feature work by 20 significant and pioneering international artists, including Takahiko Iimura (Japan) and Sophie Calle (France), plus British artists such as Terry Flaxton and Pat Flynn. There are two new commissions: a web-based work, The Museum of Glitch Aesthetics by Mark Amerika (USA) produced in association with the AND Festival, and DIYVBIED, an HD film by Harrison and Wood (UK).
Digital Aesthetic3 2012 is a collaboration between the Harris Museum & Art Gallery and the Electronic & Digital Art Unit at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) Find out more about the artists & digital art at: digitalaesthetic.org.uk Twitter: @digi_aesthetic3
