Art education too. When one can visit galleries online, and with the economic considerations (staff costs, maintenance of buildings, travel costs) it may be more attractive for the institutions to turn to,promote via the immaterial. no, I don’t think the practice will disappear, but the way art is being disseminated, already has been affected.

So that's the end of painting then? “There is a continuous feed between the material/immaterial which is shaping our daily experiences, influencing what we see, hear understand” – Continuous feed between the material/immaterial is as you have indicated permanent.

Full of graphic designers, me the odd one out. It was good fun and quite unique in Europe. There was lots of equipment you could try out (Plutos and Applemacs, and we did Turtle programming... ) it was a great environment. I moved out of London in 1989 and I ended up working for Aldus UK (pre-Adobe period) looking after Freehand, PageMaker and Hypercard, gosh wish I spent more time on the latter one.... I then had a few babies and that brought a new career shift. '….the power of an individuals response to epic themes, how would this be this translated in a digitally mediated art space' well this is exactly it. There is a continuous feed between the material/immaterial which is shaping our daily experiences, influencing what we see, hear understand. I am quite interested in these smartphone apps that deliver art into your pocket, literally. But the business models for these are far from aesthetically motivated. Yet can these apps produce an aesthetic experience? I like to believe they can, trying to work this one out really, part of my dissertation idea… The course was in 1986-1987.

Wonder we didn't bump into each other in London. Worked in early MultiMedia in and around Soho in early 90's, also was part of Garden Studio across the road from St Martins, before moving to Soho 'Ganton St' off Carnaby St, through the late 80's. Interested in your abstract painter - partner, my daughter is in her first year of painting at Edinburgh ECA. Digitally mediated art spaces - interesting! I struggle with this one (if I know what you mean?). How does the artists individual vision reconcile with ubiquity and openness - fluidity etc. I can see a type of performance art in 'digitally mediated art spaces' with limited or defined outcomes, but an artists individual reflection of life and the world we live defines meaning. For instance I was struck by 'John Bellany' at the national, by the power of an individuals response to epic themes, how would this be this translated in a digitally mediated art space? Is this ushering in the end of the post modern (if that's possible). ‘Graphic Design with Computers’ when was that course? Wonder we didn’t bump into each other in London.
