<p>Molly McCarthy graduated from our <a href="https://www.aup.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/ba-hons-fine-art" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BA (Hons) Fine Art</a> degree last summer. As part of this talk, Molly will discuss her experience on the Fine Art programme at Plymouth College of Art, the opportunities she got involved in whilst studying, making work through a pandemic and what those experiences gave her. She will also talk about the exciting roles she now holds and projects she is involved in as a graduate.</p> <p>Molly has taken part in multiple online residencies, from smaller social media based platforms such as ORBIT to larger web projects like Digital Artists Residency. She was also the inaugural Lot Resident for Silicon Valet. Other notable achievements include; exhibiting in Well Now, WTF? an internationally acclaimed net-art show, receiving a commission from The Box, Plymouth through their State of Emergency programme, exhibiting as part of Barcú art fair 2020 (Bogotá, Columbia), and being a selected artist for Plymouth Contemporary 2021.</p> <p>Her artistic practice explores the multi-layered, entangled realities generated by the post-digital, focusing on materiality, ontology, and place. Her works often reflect upon her own experience growing up in Cornwall during the rise of Web 2.0, and use speculative histories and futures as tools through which to engage with contemporary issues.</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.plymouthart.ac.uk/courses/ba-hons-fine-art-2021/overview" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Find out more about BA (Hons) Fine Art</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://www.plymouthart.ac.uk/events/get-to-know-fine-art" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Join our Get To Know...
