How fun is this!
I love Drew's playful way of working with objects and art as a whole.
"Young British artist Benedict Drew’s installation is a total headfuck of flickering screens, pulsating lights and ear-splitting sounds. The first room is brutally minimal: a white space with just a row of wireless headphones and an LCD TV. ‘Let’s imagine, for a moment, out there is gone and there is only in here,’ instructs the screen, before an assault of strobing neon colours, images of pink goo, convulsing hands and a barrage of piercing digital sounds leaves you queasy with motion sickness. Drew is hypnotising you, trying to make you feel totally disconnected from the day-to-day world."

The images that drew uses are synthesised, remixed, appropriated and distorted, they have an uncanny sexual nature about them, something tactile and sensual is implied. Pink goo.
I'd like to start using the digital more in my own practice and keep a playfu
