"Mixing Virtual and Physical Art: Tenderpixel Gallery and London's contemporary media arts scene"
Etan Ilfeld, Founder & Director
Launched in 2007, Tenderpixel is a distinctive gallery that foregrounds art, technology and participation. Etan Ilfeld will discuss its combination of digital and physical art in terms of audience interation and intervention, and consider how Tenderpixel has established a particular niche in the Central London art scene. He will also introduce its current exhibition, "Scapes" by Squidsoup:
"Created by Anthony Rowe, Gareth Bushell, Chris Bennewith, Liam Birtles
and Alexander Rishaug, 'Scapes' conjures into being three-dimensional
cities, landscapes and abstract architectures purely from sound,
software and light."
