John
Tchalenko joined Camberwell
College of Arts in August 1999 to head the Drawing
and Cognition eye tracker project. John received his PhD
at Imperial College of Science and
Technology where he lectured and conducted research on seismotectonics
(the link between geology and earthquakes). He subsequently
graduated as film director from the National
Film and Television School and made a number of documentaries
on science and art subjects, including Wall of Light with
architect Richard Rogers and sculptor Richard Deacon, and Earthquake
Country on the prediction of earthquakes in California. In
1991 he undertook, together with Humphrey Ocean and filmmaker Belinda
Parsons, a mixed film and painting exhibition, Double-Portrait,
which toured the Tate
Gallery, Liverpool, the Whitechapel Art Gallery, London and
several other national galleries and museums in the UK. His
interest in the creative processes that accompany the making of
art dates from this period.
