Steven Dickie’s approach suggests that through the pursuit of knowledge the threshold of experience can be expanded and a new way of knowing can be found. Drawing from our data rich contemporary society his work explores means to broaden the scope and increase the volume of information consumed. His practice spans sculpture, audio, drawing and performance and through it he considers humanities’ desire to satisfy its innate curiosity.

Pete McPartlan makes video works and drawings reflecting on modes of perception – investigating problems and questions about synesthesia and process – attempting to encourage alternative ways of looking and listening. Much of his work is developed through an interest in music and sound – ideas of improvisation and composition as it relates to generative processes, complex systems and interaction with the viewer and page.
