looped animation and implying that it was, we’ve done a real-time one. Which, I<br />

know didn’t go down particularly well necessarily, but I feel really satisfied<br />

23. Has being in the exhibition had any effect on your thinking about<br />

creative disciplines?<br />

I’m incredibly insular and don’t really examine things in such great detail – I’m<br />

Yes, it’s the use of technology, the way it is applied, the fresh thinking, the<br />

innovative ideas…anything like that makes you question what you’re doing<br />

Yes definitely.<br />

technology became available, actually before that because we were using<br />

university mainframes, so…’70s.<br />

technologies?<br />
