Untitled – Self and Location
4:04 video loop

Tayla Blewitt-Gray is an Australian artist currently based in Indiana, USA. Her art practice involves distortion and deterioration of digital media to explore themes that include memory, bonds, and connections to a location.

Varying forms of glitching and slicing in her works involves fluctuation between realism and more painterly scenery. Switching between these two states is a way to explore varying connections and how they change and fade. As the image is dissected, time and space are unravelled and compressed, blurring the distinction between the two and the way we interact with the world around
us.

With nature being the main subject of her work, it often involves scenes taken from her Australian home. These locations are a way to express one of the ways we as people might connect to a place. Just as the visuals are warped so too are our connections to a location depending on our closeness both physically and emotionally––often these are intertwined and are affected by each other. As the
imagery is distorted, different colours and textures are emphasised in a way we were unable to view them previously.

Tayla received her Bachelor of Visual Arts with Honours from the Australian National University in 2017. Currently she is working on her MFA in Digital Art at Indiana University Bloomington. Her work has been shown at the Grunwald Gallery in Bloomington, CCAS Manuka in Canberra Australia and also been a part of Milan’s Digital Week Machinima Festival.

Cells

‘Cells’ is inspired by the biologists’ view down a microscope, zooming in ever closer to reveal the invisible nature of what lies beneath the skin. Emulating a biological system, this artwork is entirely computer generated using algorithmic cellular patterns. The visceral movement of the ‘cells’ creates a mesmerising effect upon the viewer, of being transported into an alternate realm.

A collaboration between Wales-based artists Jessica Lloyd-Jones and Ant Dickinson. Jessica is a visual artist exploring concepts of energy, matter and natural phenomena and Ant is a creative technologist working with electronics, sound and moving image.
