Sue Gollifer will talk about her artwork, which has developed in the last thirty years according to a rigorous programme of formal experiment, through which sets of relationships evolved between shapes, colours and tones. Her talk will also make reference to a number of digital art exhibitions which she has curated since 1995: ArCade1 1-V, GAMUT I & II and the SIGGRAPH Art Gallery'04 Synaethesia. What lessons if any can be drawn/learnt from any of these exhibitions, particularly ArCade, who's original intention and objective was to demonstrate how using new technology could be used in fine art practices to create, on the one hand, a new media and on the other a hybrid link between both old and new technology, creating a convergence of ideas, disciplines and practices
