Abstract

With a background in computing arts projects, Duncan Rowland
believes the purpose of technology should be as a mechanism
to bring individuals closer together. His artistic practice reflects
this desire as he adopts a holistic view of the Universe inspired
by digital physics and the algorists. Rowland works in the
medium of ‘information’, controlling ‘bits’ of various size, with
brush and algorithm alike. Though conscious that the effects of
manipulating information ripple through the entirety of space
and time, his focus is on the human experience of the here and
now. Promoting mindful encounters drives Rowland’s work.
