Virtually resident is an account of my time working as Artist in Residence with Professor Graham Reed's group of Electronic Engineers, based at the Advanced Technology Institute at the University of Surrey. The residency ran from October 2010 to October 2011, and is a scheme funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
Professor Reed's group work on a topic called Silicon Photonics, in which they are exploring the integration of light and electricity on silicon chips, for development of next generation communications technologies.
Through the period of the residency I have been recording aspects of the process in a blog, (which is also included here to enable it to be readily read in chronological order).
There are some images here of visual works made. The process of writing and making is ongoing, and currently involves the construction of a handmade book of fibs and fabrications about the world of silicon photonics. This is happening under the auspices of the aa2a scheme, based in the print studios at the University of Plymouth (see here for more words about the project, which will run until April 2012).
