The FADE website shows the latest research, archives of previous work, a news feed of FADE’s latest events and activities and profiles of our current researchers.
About FADE
This joint research project between Camberwell College of Arts and Chelsea College of Arts has developed out of a previous project, The Integration of Computers within Fine Art Practice. FADE seeks to investigate through practice based research, the impact of digital technologies on fine art practice including its relationship to established studio practice. In particular issues around questions of surface, layering and memory will be central to the project’s concerns. FADE brings together staff from Camberwell Collage of Arts and Chelsea College of Art and Design in developing individual research as well as group events. FADE also has contributions from researchers from other institutes both nationally and internationally. This website presents our latest research, news about FADE events and activities, archives of previous projects and profiles of our current researchers. An expanded explanation of FADE’s remit can be found here as a PDF.
The Personalised Surface within Fine Art Digital Printmaking’
FADE is currently working on a large AHRC grant entitled’ The Personalised Surface within Fine Art Digital Printmaking’. This project, supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) aims to explore the role of surface within fine art digital print from a variety of perspectives including those of practitioners, critics, publishers and curators. It will investigate how it is possible to articulate the unique surface qualities of digital print and explore ways, through engagement with the technology, of creating personalised surfaces, which reflect the artist’s needs rather than accepting industry norms. More information, case studies and other research is available at the digital surface website: www.faderesearch.com/digitalsurface
