The Negligent Eye revolves around the way a digitally-native generation 
of artists – particularly printmakers - are questioning their relation 
to the digital, using the notion of ‘scanning’ as a kind of mid-state of 
the creative process of the human-digital hybrid. The show is co-curated 
curated by the Bluecoat's Sara-Jayne Parsons and head of printmaking at 
the RCA, Jo Stockham, and features several works by her graduates, and 
other artists from around the RCA, such as Bob Matthews and Christiane 
Baumgartner.
