John Tchalenko
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.

Recently, he has premiered his film Bad at writing, Good at drawing at the International Arts and Dyslexia Symposium "Genius in the Genes", Oxford, November 2000.
