Sue Gollifer

Sue Gollifer works at the intersection of art and technology. As someone who works as an artist, curator, organiser, professor, researcher, chair and board member she embodies this intersection across many venues. A pioneer of early computer art, she has continuously explored the relationship between technology and the arts and has written extensively on this subject.

Although formally trained as a Fine Artist and not as a Computer Scientist and in the early years and had no access to computer facilities, she instead turned her self into a computer. So over the last forty years her work has developed according to a rigorous programme of formal experiment, through which sets of relationships evolved between shapes, colours and tones, using various mathematical sequences including Fibonacci numbers, and modular symmetry. Her work is held in both national and international public and private collections. She is currently the Executive Director of the ISEA International Headquarters the Course Leader for Digital Media Arts MA and a researcher at the University of Brighton, and the Chair of the ACM SIGGRAPH ‘The Life Time Achievement in Digital Arts Award’.
