nationalgalleries | Wendy McMurdo | The Digital Mirror @nationalgalleriesofscotland | Uploaded March 2018 | Updated October 2024, 20 hours ago.
Wendy McMurdo works with photography and film to explore how technology and identity inform and relate to each other. With a particular interest in childhood and the world that children occupy, McMurdo’s work raises questions about advancing technology and what this means for younger people. In this film the artist discusses the influence that gaming has on her work, and how photography and social media are like digital mirrors which we hold up and see ourselves through.
Artists in Profile is a series of films that explore the ideas, materials and processes of some of the best-known contemporary artists working today. Filmed in the artists’ studios from Argyll & Bute to Berlin; in train stations, a primary school, the shore of a loch, and the Glasgow Necropolis; these videos aim to give an insight into the spaces where artists create their work, and the places that inspire them.
