New Media Art Workshop at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, India (2006)

New Media Art (NMA) at the   National Institute of Design (NID)   exhibition is a culmination of a three-week workshop for New Media Design graduate students at NID in   Ahmedabad ,   India , July 10-28, 2006. The workshop was conducted by Tom R. Chambers. The no-constraints workshop encouraged self-expression through computer technology within a Fine Arts context. According to Chambers, art created via  New Media  should follow traditional conventions in the sense of appreciation for existing foundations and their various Art Movements. He has tried to instill this within the workshop process, and an overview of the exhibition sees an emotional component and search for truth that permeate the Fine Arts.

His (McEwen's) insight to nurture (then) exceptional talent through a rediscovered medium - sculpting in stone - is now reflected through international recognition of this contemporary art form. The introduction of the medium of photography into the Gallery's Art School (sponsored by  BAT Ltd. ) nurtured - over a three-year period (1993-1995) - the exceptional talent by African artists (school leavers) to grasp the medium and possibly, again, have a significant impact for the visual arts of Zimbabwe at the international level. The students' photographs were exhibited as "Moments In Time" (1993), "Moments In Time II" (1994) and ...
