Peter Nelson's book Computer Games As Landscape Art (Palgrave Macmillan, 2023) proposes that computer games are the paradigmatic form of contemporary landscape and offers a synthesis of art history, geography, game studies and play. Like paint on canvas, the game engine is taken as the underlying medium, and using the Valve Source Engine as the primary case study, it analyses landscapes according to the technical, economic and cultural features this medium affords. It presents the single-player first-person shooter (Half-Life 2) as a Promethean safari, examines how the economics of gambling and product placement shaped the eSports landscapes of Counter-Strike and reveals how sandboxes such as Garry's Mod visualise the radical landscape of Web 2.0. This book explores how our relationship to the environment is changing, how we express this through computer games and how we can move beyond examining artistic influences on games to examining how historical connections flow through games and the history of landscape images. Rudolf Inderst is a professor of Game Design with a focus on Digital Game Studies at the IU International University of Applied Science, editor of “Game Studies Watchlist”, a weekly messenger newsletter about Game Culture and curator of @gamestudies at tiktok.

Peter speaks to the Brighton-based British photographer Simon Roberts about his experience photographing England's social landscape in the decade preceding Brexit. Whilst Simon's unique large format perspectives draw their significance from a long and rich tradition of British landscape representation, they demonstrate a challenge to traditional stereotypes and idealised cliches of Britain's visual geography. Simon's photographic depictions of Britain's high streets, beach resorts, national parks and leisure piers reveals an England which Turner or Constable would not recognise. Rather, Simon's work exists as a critical social commentary on the conflicting perspectives of Britishness from the midst of Britain's post-industrial, post-imperial landscape of the early 21st century. https://www.simoncroberts.com/ Join the conversation on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thelandbehind

In her conversation with Charles Armstrong, Vivienne Roche talks about being a sculptor first; the influence of her father and the language of engineering on her work; sculpture's potential for abstraction and her interest in architecture; working with the hidden archeology of a site and the research this involves; the importance of space, materiality and social context in her sculptures; and her collaborations with Sebastian Barry and Derek Mahon, in particular the Lighthouse project.  Vivienne Roche's works can be viewed on http://www.vivienneroche.com/. 

Curator Petrit Abazi fled Kosovo as a child with his parents and now heads a contemporary art centre in Darwin. This month he's returned to the city of his birth, Mitrovica, where Albanians and Serbs still live divided, to curate two artworks for the European art festival Manifesta 14. With Ukrainian-Australian artist Stanislava Pinchuk and endurance-swimmer and artist Piers Greville Plus, we speak to the winner and judges of the Hadley's Art Prize, and ask: is landscape as a genre still fit for purpose? And Isa Segalovich takes Daniel on a short, fascinating history of eyebrows in art.

You can also watch this episode on Youtube where English, Italian and Spanish subtitles are available or visit the Metralla Rosa website for more details.Born in Nairobi, the London based artist Julie Bloom grew up between Africa, Asia and Europe – or more specifically between Kenya, Hong Kong, Germany and the United Kingdom – and it is this concealed cultural diversity that can be found in both her work and personality, shaping her decidedly eclectic and modern visual language. Being the daughter of an architect and having been nurtured by such varied urban landscapes throughout her life, Julie explores an artistic language that is heavily influenced by the role architecture plays in the lives of those of us who allow ourselves to inhabited by the cities we inhabit.Parallel to this, Julie tirelessly develops collections of work created with various media. Her body of work contains an incredibly fertile mix of abstract pop paintings and drawings inspired by the graphic language of geometric shapes, as well as prints and lithographs which she creates in limited editions. With a frankly enviable versatility, Julie also allows herself to flirt with figurative representations of iconic characters from the pop world, as can be seen in her series of urban landscapes inhabited by Marilyn Monroe.An assorted amalgamation of influences in her work reveals a fascinating contrast between her admiration for the urban landscape and her thirst for nature, which is clearly derived from a life of travel and experiences in different parts of the world. In fact, the fusion of her life with her creative experiences can also be seen in her performances and interactions, in which she carries out an unapologetic and covert dialogue with the urban landscape, showing her work precisely where she wants it to be seen in the time honoured fashion of ‘guerrilla art'. In her work Julie not only reveals herself while hiding, but also plays at transforming herself as she dares to push the limits of art and its institutionalised conventions.One of Julie's most recent artistic projects are her fantastic Translations – Interactive experiences in which she creates images during a dynamic real-time exchange with her subjects, giving their words and emotions form and colour. Indeed, in this episode of Metralla Rosa you will watch and see the results of Julie's ‘Translation' of Carla's very own stream of consciousness.And now, enjoy the interview!_____________________Related LinksJulie Bloom: Website | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeTranslations: Website | YouTube_____________________For further information about this interview, including links to anything mentioned by Julie, or to continue reading this text in Spanish, English and Italian, visit the Metralla Rosa website.Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/metrallarosa)

“She's not a black suit and pearls in a South Yarra gallery kind of art dealer, she’s a Blundstone boots and grubby jeans kind of girl.” — Katherine Kovacic on Alex Clayton Katherine Kovacic started out as a vet before making her way into the art world, where she discovered it wasn’t quite as safe and wholesome as it seemed. Her series of detective novels, starring the inimitable art dealer and sleuth Alex Clayton, have taken us from 1930s art scene Melbourne to mid-2000s sheep farming Hamilton, all with her Irish Wolfhound sidekick Hogarth at her side. She discussed her latest in the series, ‘The Shifting Landscape’ with Sisters in Crime’s Robyn Walton at a special after-hours Zoom author talk in June 2020. This is an edited recording. Katherine Kovacic is a former veterinarian turned art historian who works with a wide variety of museums, galleries, and historic houses. She lives in Melbourne with a Borzoi and a Scottish Deerhound. ‘The Portrait of Molly Dean’ was her debut novel and the first Alex Clayton art mystery.

I recently spoke with the multi-award-winning oil painter, Eric Bowman. You might be familiar with his studio landscape and western paintings, but if you haven’t given his work a deeper study, you should. His figure-oriented pieces and plein air sketches are also worth a long look.I chatted with Eric on speakerphone as he was finishing up work for his upcoming solo show. If you listen closely, you can hear him painting, scraping and bumping around in the studio, finishing up his painting titled “The Searchers.” You can see that painting and the rest of his show beginning May 4th at Maxwell Alexander Gallery in L.A.See his work online: check out his website at www.ericbowman.com or his instagram, @ericbowmanart. Or if you're a subscriber of Western Art Collector magazine, you can find a six-page spread of his work in the May issue.Thank you for listening!

What does the process of creating cityscape and landscape art entail? How do those artists choose their locations? What does it even look like to create a portable studio? My guest, Adam Harrison is a cityscape and landscape artist who paints on location and lives in Santa Monica. Adam’s paintings range from four to six FEET! In our conversation, we talk about Adam’s process and strategy, how he connects with the public who live around his various locations, and so much more! I can’t wait for you to hear from Adam’s unique perspective and get the chance to view images of his artwork located at the end of this post. The first approach to painting outside and on location. What is it like taking your studio outside for the first time? What lessons do you learn in the process? My guest, Adam Harrison was kind enough to open up and share with me his first experience going outside and on location to start a project. Adam says that on his first outing, he carried two 4ft by 4ft panels made out of a quarter inch birchwood plywood, his studio easel, a lawn chair, a glass pallet, and a couple of reusable bags full of odds and ends. Can you imagine the scene? He took this setup to the Dodger Stadium area where he would end up spending the next year creating his first landscape work. From this experience, Adam came away with a lot of lessons, most notably, making sure to pack sunscreen next time. What can you take away from Adam’s story? What have been your experiences painting outside? The benefit of having a deadline. One of the most important things for any creative individual to find out about themselves is how they are motivated. Are you internally motivated and find that you can hit goals and benchmarks that you hold yourself too? Or are you more externally motivated and thrive when you set yourself up with deadlines that other people are counting on? My guest, Adam Harrison shared with me that he operates out of external motivation. Once he realized this, Adam was able to set up external deadlines and benchmarks that others would be dependent on, and this allowed Adam to thrive. Which process works best for you? The process of picking a motif. How do you pick your projects and motifs? Do you find inspiration in the settings around you or do you like to branch out and look past the familiar? Artist Adam Harrison has developed three “Have to’s” in his process that helps him pick his motifs. These are the three criteria he uses when he starts a painting. A sense of “Wonder” or “Wow.” Something that blows him away, that he loves looking at. Does this image resonate? Does he continue to think about it days and weeks later? How practical is it to get in front of the image on a weekly or daily basis? Adam says that these criteria have been instrumental in helping him filter through all the options and ideas that he comes across to pick the right one for him to spend his time on. What has worked for you? What are your criteria for picking a motif? How predictable patterns and habits lead to success. What habits and practices have contributed to your growth and success as an artist? Are you still looking for those patterns that will help unlock your creativity? My guest, Adam Harrison was candid enough to share with me some of the daily practices and habits have led to his success as an artist. Adam points to his practice of having between 5-7 paintings that he works on throughout the week that allows him the freedom and flexibility to create wherever his work week takes him. While Adam’s approach may not be for everyone, it is really fascinating to get his take and the creative journey and how he discovered what works for him.

Caz Graham visits the Northumberland countryside to discover stunning art in the landscape, produced by Iranian artist Khosro Adibi. Khosro is a visual artist from Iran. He's lived in Europe for several years now and has created site-specific environmental sculptures and land art pieces in the landscape. He has been artist in residence at Tarset in Northumberland since August last year. His work involves carving directly into sandstone, reminiscent of the pre-historic cup and ring marks that can be found in Northumberland. Caz also meets some archaeologists who spot similarities in Khosro's work to the ancient markings that are found in the area. Presenter: Caz Graham Producer Martin Poyntz-Roberts.

Spark visits Richard Mayhew at his home studio outside Santa Cruz, California, in 2009.

His work is featured in the permanent collections of such museums as the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Smithsonian Institution, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Los Angeles County Museum, among others.
