Spotlight: Oculart
Launch Oculart
Geoffrey Lillemon (1981 USA) brings a classic romantic painting and drawing style to technology to reinterpret artistic practice. As one of the leading artists of the Net Art Movement, Lillemon has consistently foregrounded the interplay between the digital and physical world in his work, blending the traditional mediums with interactive animation that responds to human touch, brainwaves, and even heartbeats. Using various art forms, from mixed and moving media to literature and soundscapes to classic portraiture, he creates works of hallucinatory poetry that reach into the infinite depths of the subconscious where the real and the imaginary interact. Lillemon has exhibited internationally as Oculart, including being the Invite d'Honneur at the Centre Pompidou, was a founding member of studio Champagne Valentine, and is currently an artist in residence at Random, Amsterdam, Netherlands

"Mez does for code poetry as jodi and Vuk Cosic have done for ASCII Art: Turning a great, but naively executed concept into something brilliant, paving the ground for a whole generation of digital artists." (Florian Cramer). The impact of her unique code/net.wurks [constructed via her pioneering net.language "mezangelle"] has been equated with the work of Shakespeare, James Joyce, Emily Dickinson, and Larry Wall. Mez has exhibited extensively since the early 90s.

The Status Project
Launch The Status Project.
Our identity can be thought of as a portfolio of
both private and public contracts both expressed and
implied with other people and organisations.
'The system' consists of the commons of our
collective relationships.
The status project is mapping these links on a
personal and national level producing maps for both
comprehension and mobility.
"Since 2004 artist Heath Bunting has been developing the Status Project, an exploration of the inter-relationships of UK status including citizenship, education, finance, identity, social security, work and utilities. The Status Project centres on an online database from which status maps have been generated and brought together in 0-9 The System Deluxe to create a unique A-Z of UK status."
