John McGhee

John McGhee is a practicing 3D CGI artist, researcher and senior lecturer based at UNSW Art & Design. John is also the director of the 3D Visualisation Aesthetic Lab in Sydney with a background in design and 3D computer arts research. His visual practice explores arts-led modes of visualising complex scientific and biomedical data using the 3D CGI techniques used in the visual effects and animation industries. His academic research builds on this theme—which was the basis for his doctoral thesis—and has since resulted in a variety of collaborative projects across the visual arts and sciences. Examples include projects in clinical imaging, microscopy, asthma care and infection control, with a view to improved models of working between artists, patients, the public and healthcare professionals.
