Daniel Jackson explores the synthesis of computer code with human actions,  engaging with the ideas propositioned by Malevich, Mondrian, Lewitt and Halley and extending a way forward for conceptual art in this century.

By controlling the parameters of the software that he has purposefully created, and with the final edit of the output, he is able to produce rigorously constructed  works of art, which encapsulate modern media whether they are classed as sculpture, paintings and one off prints.

One minute conversation is  an independently programmed  work in which two spheres act and react with each other. This isn't a sequence, but is a live program.

The clinical nature of the spheres belie an underlying text of development in robotics over the last century. It is a simple and elegant and comical machine,  Even thought the technology is very sophistcated in terms of movement recognitin and decision making, the out put is very limited and almost laughable. It is  a machine that  ultimately says nothing and does nothing but satisfy itself.

The large monochrome paintings create a retinal disquiet, like an interference on a screen. The noise is an overall organised treatment, highly orchestrated and meticulously worked. The software output is systematically adhered to and synthesized with the artist’s intervention, which allows the works to be viewed as both optically textured luxury and as a cerebral, logical construction.

Daniel Jackson has exhibited widely in Solo and  group shows, notably: 'Junge Scene' at the Seccession, Vienna, 1998; 'Look and Feel', Buerofriedrich, Berlin, 2000; 'A Square of Ground', Jerwood Gallery, London, 2000; 'The Royal Road to the Unconscious', Freud Museum, London,2004
