Bio

After graduating from Leicester with a BA(Hons) Fine Art in 1989, I continued to practice as an artist and participated in the Foundry Works Studio Group in Leicester. In 1994 I received an MA Computer Visualisation and Animation from Bournemouth University, National Centre for Computer Animation (NCCA).

Since 1996, I have taken an active interest in art made with new media and have contributed reviews to rhizome.org as Aurora Lovelock. In 2001 I was included in Josephine Bosma's online Collaborative Research into Electronic Art Memes.I have taught and developed web resources at the NCCA and in 2007 started a website, transjuice.org, which reviews a mixture of art online, local and national exhibitions.

Our relationships will become radiant was commissioned by Animate Projects with support from Jerwood charitable Foundation, and can be viewed on their website.

Using motion capture data as the core material, Susan Sloan's work explores the portrait through the medium of animation, focusing on the simple gestures and movements of her subjects. Sloan's exhibition of motion captured portraits on The Wall at The Photographers Gallery raises issues in terms of data object relations and computer animation - or 'animatography'.

A review of the exhibition 'Monsters of the Id', a collection of experimental works by David Cotterrell based on his residencies as war artist in Afghanistan and at SEOS (now Rockwell Collins), makers of flight simulators. The works challenge the depiction of conflict as well as explore the unique languages of programming. Curated by Helen Sloan of SCAN, and the John Hansard Gallery, Southampton, UK.
