Garrett Lynch Garrett Lynch's work deals with networks (in their most open sense) within an artistic context; the spaces between artist, artworks and audience as a means, site and context for artistic initiation, creation and discourse. For Dorkbot Cardiff the artist will present ongoing work dealing with identity, representation, place and uses the virtual world of Second Life® as its initial staging point. Work shown will focus particularly on mixed reality performance, installation and methods used to create a deeper sense of immersion and cross presence between 'virtual' and 'real' spaces. http://www.asquare.org/ |
