The viewer is led to contemplate their relationship with everyday natural phenomena, stunningly reimagined through Hardie’s use of digital media; as the described on the CAS website, ‘the serenity of the work gives little clue to the rigorous effort necessary for an artist to bend a 3D computer animation system to their will, but what it does do is draw our attention to look anew at the kind of natural phenomena that he chose as his subject matter.’
Peter Hardie has exhibited nationally and internationally, including at ACM SIGGRAPH Art Shows in the USA (2004, 2006, 2007), Glastonbury Festival (2009) and ISEA Istanbul (2011), and this exhibition will remain at BCS Moorgate until September 2024.
Members in Leicester can also enjoy a retrospective of electro-mechanical drawings from artist Jack Tait in the Phoenix Arts Centre café bar until May 2024; creating his pieces since 1960, Tait has used a wide range of machines to create fascinating artworks over his long career.
