Rod Dickinson is a visual artist and Senior Lecturer in Media Culture and Practice at University of West England in Bristol, his art work explores ideas of control and mediation and focuses on the way in which our behaviour is moderated by feedback systems. Using detailed research into moments of the past and present, he has made a series of meticulously re-enacted events that represent various mechanisms of social control.
