Troy Innocent

Using a diverse range of media, Troy Innocent has achieved international recognition for his digital media works that explore the 'language of computers'. During the past ten years, he has combined computer animation, generative systems, multimedia design and interactivity to create virtual worlds. These worlds are a means of collecting together objects, characters and icons that are influenced by video games, electronic music, and digital aesthetics. In his work, Innocent explores the dynamic between the iconic ideal and the personal specific, the real and the simulated, and the way in which our identity is shaped by our language and communication.

Innocent is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Multimedia & Digital Arts at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, and is producing Evolglyph, an interactive virtual world that generates iconic language. He recently showed offline artefacts and new animation in a solo exhibition at Tolarno Galleries in Melbourne, and is undertaking a Master of Arts investigating a model for digital media language.
