Other recent works
In 2009, Meigh-Andrews launched The Monument Project (Si Monumentum Requiris Circumspice).[13] A digital video installation that ran online for three years, it consisted of a digital video camera mounted on the Monument in the City of London.[14] The installation streamed 360-degree panoramic time lapse sequences of the city online, with displays modified by a computer in response to changes in weather.[15] His 2012 solo project, In Darwin's Garden, was a web-based installation exhibited by the online journal Leonardo Electronic Almanac.[16] Recorded in the grounds of the Down House in Kent, England (Charles Darwin's family home), the exhibition focused on an old mulberry tree growing behind the house.[17] In 2013, the artist created "Aeolian Processes", an outdoor solar powered sound installation for "Art In Your Park" in Highfields Park, Nottingham, which reflected once again his underlying impulse to explore “the role of machine and its impact on human perception.” [18] Likewise, participating in the project "La Lune: Energy Producing Art" at Long Reef in Sydney, Australia, he installed "Aeolian Processes II".[19] Meigh-Andrews is currently Professor Emeritus at the University of Central Lancashire, directing the Electronic and Digital Art Unit (EDAU).[20] He taught at the university from 1986-2012, first as the head of Time Based Media (1986-2000), then as a reader in Electronic and Digital Art (2000-2007), as the founder of the EDAU in 2004, and as a full professor in 2007.[21]
