How can artists use new technologies alongside traditional print processes as part of a contemporary practice?
Published: 3 October 2017
This project with University of Edinburgh and Dundee Contemporary Arts explores new and old technologies and their potential cross over within the context of creative practice.
Project Description
The project is two-pronged: it allows the successful candidate to explore both new and old technologies and their potential intersections within the context of their creative practice and to develop methods of disseminating such insights and learning to a wider audience. Dundee Contemporary Arts (DCA) Print Studio is one of the world’s leading open-access print production facilities. The studio enables artists to explore and combine both traditional and contemporary printmaking methodologies, from traditional wood engraving to 3D printing and CNC fabrication.
The aim of the project is to explore and utilise both older and cutting edge print technologies at DCA Print Studio within the context of a creative contemporary practice, investigating how contemporary technologies can complement and extend the production possibilities of more traditional technologies. The results of the investigation in the development of different models of dissemination in order to address diverse audiences both within DCA and the broader context of contemporary art.
