Benjamin Forster will discuss his emerging art practice and how it has evolved during his current residency at SymbioticA. This talk will focus on examples of his previous work, including his Drawing Machine and Discourse, as well as exposing some of his current projects in order to draw out the concept of Cynicism in both the practice of contemporary art and science.

Emerging artist Benjamin Forster relocated to Perth to complete simultaneous residencies at PICA and SymbioticA in 2010. Winner of the 1020 Fremantle Arts Centre Print Award Non-Acquisitive prize. He received a Bachelor of Visual Arts with First Class Honours from the Australian National University, and was an artist in residence at Canberra Contemporary Art Space in 2009. Forster's practice explores drawing, bringing together digital and bio technologies, installation and print to trace the boundaries of logic, economy and the role of the artist in art making.
