About our season of – creative technologies

Oct 23 - Dec 5 2009

Ffotogallery presents a season of exhibitions, lectures and workshops examining the creative use of digital technology at Turner House Gallery, Penarth.

In a series of themed weeks, the Vision On programme aims to involve the wider community in a celebration of digital potential through artist presentations, public interventions, installations and hands-on workshops. Participants are invited to engage with the practice and theory under investigation.

Ffotogallery joins forces with University of Wales Newport (http://amd.newport.ac.uk) to present a unique series of lectures that provide a rigorous framework for innovative practice, establishing a place for the digital firmly within the gallery programme.

Alongside the advertised programme, you are invited to use the Media Lab - a suite of Apple Macs available for visitors to browse Internet tours examining exciting new media. Join us for our Wednesday lectures, Saturday workshops, or drop in to view the exhibition and find out what informal activities are planned in coming weeks.
