  • Drawing with printmaking technology in a digital age: - Dr Paul Hamilton
  • Hamilton considers printmaking to be a form of mechanised drawing and it is his intention to review the relationship between printmaking technology and visual dynamic content. The development of computer technology from the 1970s onwards and its integration into printmaking practise has given rise to the need for a re-examination of fine art printmaking as a form of mechanised drawing. Through the realigning of old technologies with the new, the visual language and working practise associated with printmaking processes have been altered, yet bridge traditional and contemporary artistic practise. The bridge offered to traditional and contemporary practise is evident by traditional printmaking’s adaptation of digital technology underpinned by historical referencing and the form of technology.
