Dave Everitt

I have two strands of practice: works produced through computer programming, and hand-drawn 'automatic drawing'. My main focus is programmatically-created work, starting with the multi-faceted 'cubeLife' project, which generates images aligned with my own colour field-influenced aesthetic, or can be installed as a dynamic, heartbeat-driven audio-visual piece.

Since 1998, thanks to an award from the former 'Gallery of the Future' at Loughborough University (LU), followed – as co-founder of the 3-year 'Emergency Artlab' project and later as a mid-career award - by Arts Council England, supplemented by further funding via the Creativity and Cognition Research Studios (CCRS) at LU, I found a home among that group of artists who choose to work with technology. I am also part of a smaller group whose work touches on mathematics and computer science; and as the 'Emergency Artlab', also enjoyed working on short-deadline collaborative live and situational art at public venues and events.
