Artist Statement:
I am interested in the computer as providing a range of media in the visual arts, and in particular in fine art. As computer scientist I am developing new tools for computer artists which my students at the City of London Polytechnic use on a daily basis in their work. At certain periods I am able to use the tools that I have created in my own work.
This involves a shift of mode from the logical and problem-solving requirements of programming to the intuitive and inspirational frame of mind. Visually my pieces are (for myself) something related to music or dance. One of the attractions of computer art for me is the relative lack of history, reference and framework within which to place it, and hence a freedom of expression which is intrinsic rather than having to be asserted.
