Simulacra. An exhibition by Zachary Eastwood-Bloom. 4 April - 9 May 2023

Join us for the opening night of Simulacra, an exhibition by Zachary Eastwood Bloom at the Museum of Classical Archaeology. Grab a glass of wine and be one of the first to view this show of new works and works from the artist's archive.

Zachary Eastwood-Bloom is an artist who is fascinated by the intersection of art and technology, and how the two can be combined to create something entirely new and unexpected. His latest exhibition, Simulacra, uses the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to create a series of sculptures and images that draw inspiration from classical sculpture and painting.

Simulacra opens on Tuesday 4 April and runs until Friday 9 June.
