Lucy Wheeler

College & Course:

Fine Art Wimbledon College of Arts - graduated last year

Interests in digital making:

I am a video installation artist and use different technologies as a tool to present my object relationships. I am learning Blender independently and consider virtual reality to be a potential future tool. The collective has influenced me to start expanding my digital mediums into emerging technologies.

I have been learning electronics and creative coding as a collaborative practice.

Contribution to the Collective:

I have been a part of the Digital Maker Collective for just over a year. I currently help lead weekly Tate Exchange meet ups that focus on the question of 'What is the future of interaction?'  We are rethinking virtual and physical spaces through both sensory and immersive experiences.

I participated in the recent Tate Late event with the interactive and sensory RGB light display.

I have also been involved in various workshops and conferences throughout 2017. This includes the collaboration with CYLAND and Brixton Hill Mead School at Tate Exchange 2017 and the DEL conference.

What you get from the Collective:

I have learnt new technical skills with other members.

The current discussions surrounding 'Arts Works of the Future'  has influenced my art practice.

I will be exhibiting with other members of the collective in April 2017 and am looking forward to seeing my work within a digital-fuelled space!
