style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While DMT and Ayahuasca are frequently rhapsodised over in terms of some otherworldly, spiritual experience, Hawgood was initially interested in his subjective visual experience while on the drug, which he compares to digital, computerised graphics. \u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in psychedelics, and DMT is one that stands out,\u201d explains the Royal College of Art graduate. \u201cPutting aside all the spiritual elements, I was struck by the aesthetics of it. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s because of my preoccupation with imaging and analysing imagery, but I felt that DMT really kind of offered this digital experience \u2014 I felt like I was inside a computer simulation of some kind. It was weird.\u201d Hawgood found himself comparing what he visualised on a DMT trip to the shapes and geometries associated with digital rendering. \u201cYou experience strange perspectives, distortions that might feel symmetrical or something like that. There\u2019s unusual depth, noiselessness, clarity\u2014all kinds of things that you associate with building imagery in CG (computer graphics) and digitally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since graduating five years ago, Hawgood\u2019s practice has expanded out of photography, moving into installation, product design, animation, 3D rendering and sculpture.

Through an inventive and atmospheric approach to site-specific installation, Hawgood aligns the rituals and obsessive techniques of computer graphics with meditative or transcendental experience. As he says, \u201cI liked the idea that the digital is something that resides within us&#8230; I\u2019m interested in exploring its spiritual side.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":78435,"id":78435,"title":"2 CG visualisation 2019 c Dominic

style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is the \u2018ceremonial\u2019 and the objects used in shamantic ritual, particularly in UK ceremonies, such as the figure of the Buddha. \u201cFor me, the Buddha figure came to represent the digital, allowing psychedelic themes,\u201d explains the artist. \u201cSo, I took apart this figure that I had been given by shamans and started replicating it in lots of different ways, such as CG animations, in casts, images and photographs. It\u2019s continually being replicated and worked upon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I ask Hawgood what he wants visitors to take away from this exhibition he is adamant that he has \u201cno interest in recreating a psychedelic experience as such.\u201d Instead, he wants visitors to \u201cquestion how things are constructed, what they are looking at and how this has been achieved.\u201d Through ambient lighting in a moody spectrum of deep purple, celestial blue and aqua, computer graphics rendered into dreamy fragments of fantasy, and incandescent Buddhas, Hawgood constructs a space that bridges the gap between the digital and the ethereal. Where commonly the digital world is viewed as sterile, cold and technical, he illuminates its mysticism and magical quality. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen I look towards the research that fascinates me like at USC ICT Graphics Lab, for example, there\u2019s magic in the process and techniques being used\u2014with light fields and image-based light capture you can do amazing things. So, for me it\u2019s something about the transfer into the digital that\u2019s important (the reason why photogrammetry appears within my practice),\u201d says Hawgood. \u201cYou can learn about all kinds of imagining techniques and you find out you\u2019re hacking your perceptual system, creating illusions and deconstructing the world around you. You can figure out how it\u2019s made.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"<p>All images courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/dominichawgood.com\/\">Dominic Hawgood<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foam.org\/museum\/programme\/dominic-hawgood\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Casting Out the Self<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> runs through to 13 October at Foam Amsterdam.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n"}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>This artist drew on his experience with psychedelic drugs to explore the spiritual side of the digital This artist drew on his experience with psychedelic drugs to explore the spiritual side of the digital<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/dominic-hawgood\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"This artist drew on his experience with psychedelic drugs to explore the spiritual side of the digital This artist drew on his experience with psychedelic drugs to explore the spiritual side of the digital\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/dominic-hawgood\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-07-18T12:38:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-07-22T09:58:45+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
