Interactive Media Exhibition Launched

Media Department lecturers Alex Jukes and Craig Boylan were joined by family, friends and Edge Hill University colleagues as they launched their latest exhibition ‘Projection and Reflection'.

Held in the atmospheric surroundings of Liverpool's Novas Contemporary Urban Centre (CUC), this Grade II-listed former Victorian warehouse was the ideal setting to showcase an array of work exploring the role new technology is now playing within contemporary art.

Forming part of Edge Hill's 125 anniversary celebrations, this showcase exhibition involved Alex and Craig collaborating with former Edge Hill colleague Russell Murray, now of Nottingham Trent University, with all three creative practitioners investigating the relationship between identity, culture and technology.

The CUC's crypt basement gallery, with its exposed pillars and arched bricked ceilings, gave the exhibition a unique emotive and hypnotic feeling, with each piece omitting ambient light and sound. Each installation used pioneering interactive media, animation and experimental film so the viewer engaged personally with the artwork and experienced the abstract ideas for themselves.

Alex, Craig and Russell would like to thank everyone who supported their exhibition including Carla Weaver, Carol Poole and Mark Molloy, as well as staff at Novas CUC, Edge Hill University, The Print Room UK and The Liverpool Organic Brewery.
