Session
Stop And Smell The Internet
Geoff Lillemon will talk about exploring fine art in an innovative yet primitive digital gallery space.
Then expanding the new emerging medium and becoming an Amsterdam based surrealist whose celebrated work quickly influenced the Net Art Movement incorporating romantic old world art processes with high end new media performances, interactive art, and motion.
His hyper-stylized electronic paintings fuse the traditional processes of creating art with the limitless capabilities of the computer.
The Oculart repertoire will be dissected into an evolving presentation going through the experimental process of each piece of art and then into the concept of the website being a a voyerstic view into the mind of a life long artistic exploration.
