15th International Illustration Research Symposium - ‘Apparatus: the role of Technology in Illustration’

Jac and Lee have just returned from the 15th International Illustration Research Symposium - ‘Apparatus: the role of Technology in Illustration’ at Koç University, Istanbul, where they both got to deliver papers.

It was a Fascinating mix of all things illustration, Ceri Amphlett (also from UoP illustration) had a poster paper on show and Nicola Hay and Ros Simms (also part of the illustration team) both had their research cited in other talks. YAY!  Illustration.

Jac spoke about zines, Zineopolis and how illustrators are sharing their frustrations of social media and their disillusionment with the promise of technology. She also got to share her own practice. Lee spoke about punch cards and sound weaving in book arts. His micro library books and musical books were much appreciated.

There was a great zine created for the conference speakers by students from Anglia Ruskin University, University of the Arts London, Koç University and Mimar Sinai Fine Arts University, whichis now in the Zineopolis collection.

So energising to share ideas and practice with colleagues in a city full of cats.
Thanks to the organisers 👏👏👏
