Make sure you set aside time to attend the opening of Computers Have A Lot To Answer For at Public Works Gallery on September 7th. Storm Thorgerson's artwork is immediately recognizable as iconic. The show is a 40-year retrospective of an artist who produced many of the defining images of music culture, including album covers for Pink Floyd (Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of the Moon, Animals), Led Zeppelin, Peter Gabriel, Black Sabbath, Def Leppard, Paul McCartney, and many more. Thorgerson is a strategist and production mastermind, whose intricate work he's always produced without digital technology remains unsurpassed.

Look through his vast collection of work, learn more about his intricate processes, or even ask him yourself (Storm will be in attendance). Read more about the exhibition HERE. Computers Have A Lot To Answer For will be in the Public Works Gallery from September 7 until November 2.
