Event overview
Patrick Tresset in conversation with Paul Squires
The V&A is delighted to present Patrick Tresset in conversation with Paul Squires as part of the Digital Design Drop-in programme in the Sackler Centre Digital Studio.
Patrick Tresset will be discussing the development of his distinctive robotic art projects and in the course of his conversation with Paul Squires, he will explore the origins of his work, his creation of a distinctive visual form, and the way that mediation of imagery by robots alters the relation of the artist to the artwork.
Patrick Tresset is currently a researcher at Goldsmiths, University of London. His artistic installations use what he calls clumsy robotics, and were recently on show at Tenderpixel. Patrick also co-directs with Prof. Fol Leymarie the Aikon-II project that investigates the sketching activity through computational modelling and robotics. Aikon-II is currently in part funded by the Leverhulme Trust. Aikon has received in the past year notable media attention including from the BBC, Wired, Blueprint, New Scientist, El-Mundo and more. http://www.aikon-gold.com/
Paul Squires is the Managing Director of Perini, an integrated digital business based in Oxford. It comprises of three brands, Perera (an open digital creative agency); Xpeso (an online display advertising solution for publishers), but is perhaps most well-known for Imperica, an online magazine covering the intersection of art, brands, advertising, and digital culture.
With its long-form editorial proposition that puts people first and is not afraid to be controversial, Imperica has covered topics from automata to dubstep (including Patrick Tresset's work). http://www.imperica.com/
