EXHIBITION AT EXETER UNIVERSITY

WOR(L)DS IN COLLISION is an exhibition of artworks intersecting with the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, currently on show at Byrne House (the base of Egenis) at the University of Exeter. The show includes work by Richard Carter, Sas Colby, David Connearn, Johanna Drucker, John Hall, Alan Halsey, Tony Lopez, Jaime Robles, Mike Rose-Steel, Suzanne Steele, Dan Wood and others. I went to the opening on Friday 12 June 2015, and so far as I can work out the company included Alan Halsey, Geraldine Monk, Regenia Gagnier, John Dupre, John Hall, Alan Munton, Steve Spence, Victoria Heath, Suzanne Steele, James Freeman, Ian Ground, Christina Burke-Tees, Maddie Dodds, Steve Spence, John Venn, Paul Martin, Lorna Wilkinson, Lucinda Carey, Frederick Cooper, Richard Carter and Dan Wood.

I've added some photos of the work, including my text animation More and More, a frame from Alan Halsey's Memory Screen, two individual facets from The Wittgenstein Vector by Mike Rose-Steel, Jaime Robles and Suzanne Steele, Looseidity by John Hall and Untitled by Dan Wood.

I'm grateful to Jaime Robles and Mike Rose-Steel who organised the exhibition -- it's great to see More and More, which is on loan from Bury Art Museum, installed so well.

The exhibition WOR(L)DS IN COLLISION runs until September 2015 at Byrne House, University of Exeter.

 

WIRING WITTGENSTEIN

I was at this high speed colloquium, chaired and introduced by Regenia Gagnier, on Thursday 12 June 2014 to show some recent work and give a brief talk. The speakers were John Dupre, Meaning as Use;  Aron Vinegar, 'What is the logical form of that?' Wittgenstein, Gesture and the Arts; Jaime Robles, Verbal Entanglements: The physical aspects of language and its digitisation; Mike Rose-Steel, Tweeting the Roman de la Rose: digitisation, social media and constraints; Tony Lopez, 'This is a forensic sentence'; Suzanne Steele, Northern Exposure: digital transparency, embeddedness and the Canadian war artist; Richard Carter, Performing the Algorithm: Engagements with Digital Literature.
     Great to see so many Exeter people there including Lewis expert Alan Munton, the curator Cristina Burke-Trees, and Martyn Windsor from CCANW. Thanks to Jaime Robles and Mike Rose-Steel for inviting me to speak and for organising the event. The meeting was to explore future collaborative projects in philosophy, art, technology, english, hopefully right across the spectrum.
