Welcome to the brand spanking new Ergo Phizmiz blog for the roaring 20s. Over the past few months I have been working to create new audio/visual compositions that constitute digital art made without the interference of a computer, made using an inkjet photocopier and realtime image manipulation. These images were created as part of the development of our new production "Dimbola Mikado", which premieres at Dimbola Lodge in Autumn 2020. Supported by Arts Council England and Sound & Music's Francis Chagrin Award.
