Day 10
Brainpower - collaborative imagination will always beat artificial intelligence
This is artwork produced by Emma Maitland, Anna Holler and myself. I started with the idea of artificial intelligence, and constructed an artificial brain using noodles, divided into two to represent the right and left brains, wrapped in cling film and compressed in a round bowl. They were removed and unwrapped, trimmed of stray noodles, photographed and sent on to Anna. She added a cerebellum, carved from parsnip, then passed on to Emma who printed the image on tissue and acetate, layered and photographed the image for the final artwork we are submitting.

Day 6
Is he alive or has ‘e gone?
Black and white line drawing of a girl with long curly hair wearing a lace topped vest and skirt. There is a slight resemblance to the style of Egon Schiele, though the posture is less overtly sexual and the features of the girl are arguably less characterful.
