William is a lecturer in creative and digital media and works on both BA Fine Art and BA Architecture . William completed his MRes at Manchester Metropolitan University 2017. He has presented his artistic research practice through exhibitions, residencies, symposiums and conference presentations. William produces site-specific installation artwork that brings the notion of the site and presence of the work into question. The most recent work is exhibited online and on-site as motion-tracked, animated CGI/video composites alongside 3D printed sculptures. These artworks find uncanny potentialities in relation to overlooked locations, architectural details and unplanned accumulations of modifications and adaptations to the built environment. The work draws attention to specific locations and shifts the border between what is perceived to be virtual and actual.
William's research relates to the application of computer generated imagery, digital visual effects, computer modelling, digital animation and computer aided production in fine art practice. The conceptual framework for the research links affect theory, the uncanny, psychoanalysis, cinema and media studies.
