Mr Guy Lobwein
Guy Lobwein is a visual artist, academic, and researcher. For over a decade, his work and teaching has focused on the use of digital technologies in contemporary art practice, exploring experimental creative approaches to game engines and virtual reality.
His work, exhibited internationally and nationally, considers the intersections between screen culture, immersion, conflict, and politics. He has received numerous accolades, including the Experimental Award at the Brisbane Portrait Prize and the Bryan-Manton Art Prize. His research, which similarly focuses on experimental technologies, utilises game-making tools to create critically reflective experiences. Notably, Guy is the lead virtual reality researcher and artist on Future Stories, an ARC Discovery project that gives young people in long-term hospital care the opportunity to create their own bespoke virtual world.
With this background as a practicing contemporary artist and researcher, his teaching focuses on digital experimentation and interdisciplinary practice. Through blending art theory and studio practice with digital game tools, he endeavours to help students find their own unique voices within the realm of digital art practice.
