For the next two weeks photographer and performance artist Barbara Kukovec will be working with Rob Canning (GOTO10) as Artist in Residence in Access-Space, Sheffield UK.  The theme of the workshop is based around DIY photography involving Victorian  techniques such as pinhole photography, cyanotype and self made photographic emulsions.  This will be combined with a digital methodology where the  FLOSS photography tools in puredyne will be used to complete the work-flow to create large analog negatives for contact printing. Both the cameras and the negatives will be constructed from recycled computers.

During the course of the residency there will be workshops on pinhole photography and alternative photography techniques as well as workshops in FLOSS tools for the photographer in puredyne.  The residency will culminate in an exhibition on the 13th of November 2009.
