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 KoƧ 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, KoƧ 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 šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘

Apparatus: The Role of Technology in Illustration


Apparatus: The Role of Technology in Illustration
Collaborative zine created to accompany the 15th Illustration Research Symposium held
21–22 Nov 2025, KoƧ University, Istanbul

Zine created for the conference speakers by students from Anglia Ruskin University, University of the Arts London, KoƧ University, and Mimar Sinai Fine Arts University.
A5 prints on the theme of technology and illustration collected into a pack with belly band.
Machines, appliances, gizmos, and contraptions have always been a part of illustration, enabling illustrators to transform their thoughts into real-life forms. The machine’s abilities, aesthetics, and impacts on humanity have always been a source of inspiration and concern. With the discussion raging around artificial intelligence as a game-changing technology, and when computers seem to inextricably serve as parts of creation and of our lives, perhaps it is time to take stock and consider the long-established but fluctuating relationship between illustration and the machine.  Symposium website (2025)

Art and Value: Does art change you? / What is art to you?






Art and Value: Does art change you? / What is art to you?
Beth Hopkins

Publishing Info:
Series of zines created as part of a research residency and exhibition called Art and Value at Bethlem Gallery, London UK The residency was from April-August 2019. Bethlem Gallery is based in the grounds of Bethlem Royal Hospital, a psychiatric hospital in Beckenham. Zines were free for gallery visitors.

Consists of:
A5 x 12 page riso printed zine, 'Does Art Change You?'
A6 foldy riso printed zine 'What is Art to You?'
A5 'Art and Value' exhibition catalogue x 6 pages and A5 exhibition flyer.

Description: 
"I had conversations with curators and artists at the gallery about what art means to them. From this I developed a series of questions to ask visitors, which were then pinned on the gallery wall. Questions included 'Is art a luxury?', 'How does art make you feel physically?', and 'How long should you look at a painting for and does it matter?'. People gave some amazing responses and because of the setting of the gallery inside a psychiatric hospital many of the answers related to art and mental health."

Story of Pinocchio-style character who struggles with drugs, wordless visual narrative.

"My business is about using creative techniques relevant to young people to address some of society’s most difficult issues. These often get hidden away, or are not tackled in a way that young people can identify with. My aim is to help young people understand how serious theses issues can be, not just for themselves but also for the community that they live in. Through my experiences, I have learned that young people respond to visual communication, and this method has the power to attract and retain their attention, especially with young people with disadvantaged backgrounds, who have short concentration spans or have a troubled history in the mainstream school environment."
