Romaine Logere is currently completing a Masters of Design at SIAL. Her background is in fine art, most specifically new media. She holds a Bachelor degree in Computer Mediated Art (2000-2003, VUT) and recently completed her Graduate Certificate at SIAL. Romaine has worked on Experimenta's Waste exhibition, the Centre for Contemporary Photography and with artist Lucy Orta.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION | DIGITAL VISCERA

The theoretical investigations of her research seek to engage embodied knowing within digital technologies through the development of techniques visually analogous with the mirroring of materiality. The research draws on empathic theories of form and space; while additionally serving as a critique on the role of production in enfolding meaning specific to materiality.

Four projects fund this investigation:

@nimatus :: the creation of an interactive, digital presence which mimics fleshy responses in answer to spectatorial engagement

[un]site :: a dual screen digital installation which explores the architecture of mirroring within its' construction; narrative + relational dynamics

labyrinth :: a 15 metre digital print installation which has been repeatedly exhibited [most recently as part of the YELLOW BRICK ROAD exhibition held at the Greens-Wood Gallery from 20 October - 4 November 2007]
+
.gargoyle. :: an animated virtual gargoyle; "activated" through various surface projections

All the above works have been realized in conjunction with several visual experiments, which have lead to the development of a series of virtual textures; for which an upcoming collaboration is planned with fashion designer Anastasia La Fey combining those textures with her design work.

In addition to her masters, Romaine runs research presentation evenings called Drink+Thinks, held on the second Wednesday of every month. These are transdisciplinary art and design events based on Peer2Peer relational dynamics which promote exchange across a broad range of researchers; under+postgraduate students; industry practitioners and academics; with an emphasis on creating open, active dialogues fostering interdisciplinary collaboration across creative research and practice.
She was, likewise, a key stake holder in founding the SIAL Project|Gallery Space in conjunction with Dr. Matthias "Hank" Haeusler.
