His work has appeared at the V&A Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Bucharest, Frieze Sculpture, SeMA – Seoul Museum of Art and MoCA Shanghai.
David Cotterrell is an installation artist whose multimedia work examines the fractured sociopolitical dynamics of an interconnected world. His art focuses on transitional, ephemeral encounters that reveal emotional and psychological truths. He has exhibited widely and is Professor of Fine Art at Sheffield Hallam University.
Andy Lomas is a computational artist, mathematician and Emmy award-winning supervisor of computer generated effects. His art work explores how complex sculptural forms can be created emergently by simulating growth processes. His work exists at the boundary between art and science.
