Computers as Art?

I have been meaning to blog this for a while so apologies that this is a bit tardy. A friend of mine invited me to the Camberwell College of Art's student exhibition back in June which was one of the more enjoyable afternoons I have spent in Camberwell - actually it's probably the only afternoon I have spent in Camberwell but hey.

As well as some excellent photography, there was also a brilliant display of ceramics -- and as a ZDNet journalist is never off duty I thought I'd share these with you all.

The artist's name is Jehan E. Haddad and the project - as far as I can work out - is a musing on the some of the negative effects computers have had on society:

"Although technology today offers a wide range of endorsements to our practical lives, it also has made our cultural heritage and knowledge more fragile to the point of dissapearing."

I am not sure of Jehan's analysis of the impact of tech on society but the ceramics are pretty impressive.
