Steven Dickie
Steven Dickie is in his final year on the MFA Fine Art course at The Slade School of Art. Having exhibited at Transmission Gallery (Glasgow), The LAB (Dublin), PopUp Gallery (London), he is currently working towards a solo show at the Ruskin in Oxford. Society’s relationship with technology is the focus of Dickie’s practice, which spans sculpture, sound, drawing and digital media. Central to his work is an examination of the systems and technologies that are rooted within our societies' psyche. While the conjectural possibility of the future is based on our ability to gather, store and process different forms of knowledge, Dickie seeks a means to collapse the boundaries between past, present and future and to compile all knowledge into a point of immediate recognition so society can fulfill its potential.

The Great Society of the 801st Lifetime is proposed architecture for examining contemporary technological society and exploring visions for its future. This drawing of an imagined building uses the principle function of a faraday shield as a mode for creating a public environment, unmediated by electronic communications. The pavilion is fabricated from a conductive material, which by Faraday’s principle prevents the penetration of portions of the electromagnetic spectrum in its interior. This generates a space devoid of electronic communications. A solace from remote communications, it provides an appropriate environment for considering contemporary life.
