GUEST SPEAKERS:
Jennie RosenbaumJennie Rosenbaum is a contemporary figurative artist working in 3D modelling and exploring the boundaries of technology and art.
https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/6/a/d/9/600_461727353.jpeg
Their most recent work has been in exploring the nature of Non Binary Transness and their own genders and sexuality. Well known for being a painter of nudes, Rosenbaum has recently completed a masters degree and changed focus to more technologically based digital art using physics based rendering, Deep Neural Networks and Unity to develop an Augmented Reality mobile application.
Following a car accident that impaired Rosenbaum’s mobility they have turned their mind inwards exploring the nature of humanity, religion and gender through art. The human body has always been a source of fascination in Rosenbaum’s art with a focus on mythical and archaeological stories driving their progress. This fascination has continued with their newest Computer Generated works with a basis in classical art and history.

Stephen Ives - Live Google Tiltbrush Performance
https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/1/8/8/600_461900872.jpeg
Stephens' work is bricolage, it is about contrast and balance and the meaning within the juxtaposition, whether it is the bringing together of disparate contemporary ideas and materials or a synaesthetic sculptural emoticon, it is about appeasement, the conjunction of objects, themes, colours and overall placement.
Stephen will be performing on the HTC Vive using Google Tiltbrush software on the night.
