CS Appoints "Artist in Residence"
Ms Gordana Novakovic
is the Computer Science Department's first Artist-in-Residence.
Gordana's collaboration with the Department began in 2004
when she sought a technical partner for her Arts Council England
Individual Grant 'City Portrait'. In 2005 she was awarded
a Leverhulme artist-in-residence Fellowship at UCL, and also
an AHRC/ACE Art and Science Fellowship with Dr Peter Bentley
as the collaborating scientist.
Gordana belongs to the generation of artists who pioneered
electronic art. Originally a painter, with 12 solo exhibitions
to her credit, she has more than 20 years' experience of developing
and exhibiting large-scale time-based media projects, such
as Infonoise. A constant
mark of her work throughout her experiments with new technologies
has been her distinctive method of creating an effective cross-disciplinary
framework for the emergence of synergy through collaboration.

During her residency, Gordana will work closely with Dr. Peter Bentley,
Anthony Ruto, and the Australian composer Rainer Linz, on the interactive
artwork Fugue. In addition,
the team will collaborate on a new scientific tool for the audiovisualisation
of the immune system. Gordana will also attend departmental seminars
and other research events, and she hopes that her personal interactions
with members of other research interest groups inside and outside
the department will open up further interdisciplinary opportunities.
A forthcoming exhibition in the new Computer Science building will
show some of her large-scale paintings, along with documentaries of
her previous projects, showing the evolution of the ideas behind her
current work. If you would like to discuss any ideas with Gordana,
you may find her in room 811, or e-mail her at G.Novakovic@cs.ucl.ac.uk.
