Oliver James MacDonald-Brown

 

Biography

 

Oliver is a photographic and moving image based artist using experimental methods to expose the interplay between the surfaces of these media. His enquiry is founded within the processes that surround both and so his work furthered by the disruption and destabilisation of these processes and signals. This takes place primarily within analogue structures, however digital processes are brought in to study the relationship between both and in turn how one reacts to the other.
