Making art for a change

Lunchtime Talks

Live stream

Please note: This event took place in April 2021

For this week's Lunchtime Talk we are joined by Colombian-British artist Matthew Plummer-Fernández, who will be sharing his latest work-in-progress and ideas around digital art practice in response to the climate crisis.

Matthew's interest in the interrelation of algorithmic systems, popular culture, and contemporary issues, forms a varied body of work influenced by the traditions of generative art, critical design, and internet art, that he describes as algopop.

In this talk Matthew will discuss the new motivations and shifts in his art practice that act in response to the climate crisis as well as his recent work which includes experiments in augmented reality, agroecology - a farming approach that is inspired by natural ecosystems, willow shaping, online community building and an essay about cryptocurrencies embedded inside a JPEG.
