info@boredomresearch.net
Collaborating as boredomresearch, Southampton based Vicky Isley and Paul Smith have gained an international reputation for interrogating the creative role of computing. Their enthusiasm for scientific modelling techniques and fascination with natural systems inspires them to produce beautifully crafted software art that presents an exciting alternative to our technologically fraught lives. Currently boredomresearch are developing their practise at NCCA, Bournemouth University as Research Fellows in Computer Animation & Computer Art.
boredomresearch aim to create engaging digital artworks, developing themes and crossing boundaries between science, art and technology. They have produced a number of interactive sound applications, public artworks, online projects and computational soundscapes which have been shown both nationally and internationally at events such as, SIGGRAPH, Los Angeles (2006 & 2005); Third Iteration, Melbourne (2005); Transmediale, Berlin (2005); VIDA 7.0 Art & Artificial Life International Competition, Madrid (2004); FILE04, Brazil (2004); NOW, Nottingham (2004); Data:base, Dublin (2003); Garage, Germany (2002); Electrohype, Sweden (2002) and within online exhibitions such as soundtoys.net, mobilegaze.com and Dots & Line, BBC online exhibition.
boredomresearch have recently produced a series of works for a national touring solo exhibition theatre of restless automata, these systems are inspired by in-depth research into artificial-life and digital biology playing on our receptivity for life like phenomena. By building intricately detailed systems that exhibit the aesthetics of life the works challenge our ability to critically discriminate between the product of an abstract mechanism and the sublime quality of life.
