CQU Sydney digital media lecturer Andrew Mamo and some of his works are featured in the latest edition of Digital Media World magazine.

The magazine traces his career from painter and photographer through to being "seduced by the world of pixels'.

It says his eerie photographic portraits and surreal landscapes contain elements from a wide range of analogue and digital sources, assembled via Photoshop software.

Mamo had a residency at The Kala Art Institute near Berkeley, California, where he completed 'portraits' in a series titled 'Are We Not Men?'.

He has begun to experiment with digital animation in collaboration with his partner, Helen Ferry, who is also an artist.

Mamo was a finalist in the Still Images category of the 2004 International Digital Art Awards and has won many awards for his work, including the Toray Digital Art Prize Maywa Denki Award, Japan.

Mamo also works as a freelance designer and is taking part in a group exhibition at Gallery Xposure, a fine art photography gallery.

His work will also be included in Sydney Life, a large format photography exhibition displayed along the central walkway of Sydney's Hyde Park North as part of the Art & About public art exhibition in October.
