'THE ORGANIC RATIONALIST' Kevin Todd commissioned by New Greenham Arts
This was the culmination of the long awaited residency by international artist Kevin Todd from July to October, looking at the human need to control the environment. Kevin describes his work as: computergenerated forms and the resulting objects, some of which are 'printed' using 3D technology, questioning our involvement with nature. Although the work is aesthetically appealing it also speaks of the limits of rationalism and the visceral nature of the forms suggest a discomfort with the virtual world of the computer where everything is predicated on number. The scientific desire for a predictable and rational environment through bio-engineering is challenged and the works suggest that in reality nature will not conform. |
