Dublin Tech Week 2018

12pm – 5pm Mon – Sat @ Digital Exchange, Crane Street, The Digital Hub, Dublin 8, D08 HKR9

Robin Price (1981) is a contemporary British artist working with electronics and code to manipulate light and sound interactively. He holds an MPhys in Theoretical Physics from the University of Wales and a PhD in Composition and Creative Practice from the Sonic Arts Research Centre. His early work in club visuals and music continues to influence the creative aims and aesthetics of his work. http://robinprice.net. A recurring theme in the artist’s practice is the appropriation and augmentation of existing objects. Robin Price likes to play with people’s ideas of what these objects are and what they could become after a technological intervention. For this piece, Robin Price designed a ping pong table featuring 4000 RGB LEDs under frosted polycarbonate. Each bounce triggers audio-visual effects programmed in code. It was named after a passive-aggressive note left in Robin Price’s shared studio space to stop people leaving things on it and as a nod to the surrealist artist, Rene Magritte.
