Douglas Bagnall

Wellington based artist Douglas Bagnall is an artist and programmer, who tries to make machines to automate some of the more mundane processes of artistic production. This was not always the case; Douglas began his career in the early nineties.  His film and digital art, including The Sea (pt 3) (1996) and Random Geographical Survey (1998), has been seen throughout New Zealand at short film and fringe film festivals. His work has been shown internationally at Melbourne Experimenta in 1994 and at the Tokyo Video Festival in 1996. Bagnall was Digital Artist in Residence at the University of Waikato in 2003. Cloud Shape Classifier has been exhibited at Ramp gallery in Hamilton, Enjoy in Wellington. In 2006 the installation appeared internationally at ZeroOne/International Symposium on Electronic Arts in San Jose and later in the group show Geomatics and Ecomatics: three stories in Shanghai (2007).
