"Lei Cox: A Solo Show "
2002-06-01 until 2002-07-13
CCA - Glasgow
Glasgow, , UK United Kingdom

This is the first major solo exhibition of the work of LEI COX to be seen in Scotland. Based in Dundee, Cox exhibits video and sound installations nationally and internationally and in this exhibition he will premiere a new piece, The Choir. Using computer software, Lei Cox creates and manipulates multiple moving images of himself which are viewed on multiple screens and monitors.

Cox is interested in exploring the impact that technology and science has on society and how its members think and operate. He is also interested in the possibilities of being in more than one place at the same time – a phenomenon that he achieves by manipulating his digital self.

In Wave, Cox multiplies and synchronises a single movement to create the effect of a Mexican wave, whilst in The Conductor, multiple images of the artist clapping position the viewer as the focus of the applause. Lei Cox currently lectures in Time Based Art at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee.
