About this work

Keiko Nakamura’s 2002 print Commitment is a modern take on Japanese art. It came from a workshop at Wimbledon School of Art where artists mixed old woodblock prints with digital tech. Eyecon, a digital print research group, published the series. Nakamura and 18 other artists explored how traditional and digital methods could work together. Their prints show new ways to blend old and new. Look up Eyecon.

The project was facilitated by Eyecon, a digital print research unit established in 1999 to support artists working at the intersection of print and digital media.
