Attended a great lecture today, taken by Brendan Dawes. Dawes uses a combination of digital and analogue technology in his work and is fascinated by the interaction between people, code, art and design. He talked openly and honestly with great humour about his practice, discussing such works as Doodlebuzz and Cinema Redux. He talked of his love for the mundane and discussed one of his projects using Play-Doh as an interface juxtaposing analogue with digital. Too be honest, nearly all of the technology went straight over my head but this wasn’t an obstacle, it has made me want to learn more. He was very inspiring and I loved his attitude. If there is one thing that I will take away from his lecture is a when he said ……… surely as designers, artists, makers what we should all want to do is create magic ……
