A note about NEoN Digital Arts and Donna Holford-Lovell:
NEoN Digital Arts (SCIO) is a small charity based in Dundee. In recognising the profound connection between contemporary culture and digital technology, NEoN believes in addressing digital poverty and promoting digital detox as integral aspects of its mission. Through a collaborative programme, NEoN seeks to not only enhance critical understanding but also make digital art more accessible, acknowledging the impact of technology on society today.
DIRECTOR – Donna Holford-Lovell
Donna has been with NEoN since its conception in 2009. She is a passionate advocate of digital (social) change, working with digital art makers to change the binary systems which parallel the heteronormative structures of the patriarchy. She champions digital art practices that aim to be nonhierarchical and inclusive and use tools to bypass this patriarchy. Under the umbrella of new digital change feminisms, many artists are changing the technology paradigms, metaphorically and literally rewriting the code. It is here that she works and makes a difference. “After years of conformity, I am now dreaming in the ruins of Big Tech”.
A note about Kevin Cameron:

Kevin has a long standing interest and practice in collaborative and participative filmmaking and has worked in multiple contexts and with diverse members of the community. Highlights of this strand of his practice have included presenting work for the directors programme of the GI festival and presenting in the Carnegie Hall in New York as part of International Conference of Teaching Artists.
