Cactal Artist gives public talk

Simeon Nelson, whose Cactal steel sculpture now adorns the Woodlands Road end of the University of 海角直播鈥檚 new Phoenix Building, will be giving a public talk about his work in the University鈥檚 Innovation Centre Lecture Theatre, on Tuesday 23 October 2007 at 5.00pm.

The event is free and open to students and members of the public. Simeon鈥檚 5-ton 鈥榝loating sculptural from鈥� emerges out of the street fa莽ade of the new building, which is home to the Institute of Digital Innovation and the exciting DigitalCity project.

Simeon says: 鈥淐actal is based on a digital organism. What the students and public will see high up on the facade of the Institute鈥檚 building is a process of self-generation that has been frozen at a particular moment.鈥�

Cactal is the latest in a series of works by Simeon Nelson that addresses the historic relationship between sculpture, ornament and architecture.
