Paul St George's father was an acrobatic tap dancer, his mother a costume designer. They were midway through a world tour of Kiss Me Kate when Paul was born – he started life in Norway, was weaned in Sweden, toddled in Finland but went to school in Bristol, England.[citation needed]
St George studied at Bath Academy of Art in Corsham, Wiltshire. The college was situated right next to Lacock Abbey where Fox Talbot invented photography. Paul's fascination with the relationships between images and different realities started there.
As well as being an installation artist, Paul St George is Principal Lecturer in Computer Animation in the Sir John Cass Department of Art, Media & Design at London Metropolitan University.
Notable works

Installation art is an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space. Generally, the term is applied to interior spaces, whereas exterior interventions are often called public art, land art or art intervention; however, the boundaries between these terms overlap.

Gary Hill is an American artist who lives and works in Seattle, Washington. Often viewed as one of the foundational artists in video art, based on the single-channel work and video- and sound-based installations of the 1970s and 1980s, he in fact began working in metal sculpture in the late 1960s. Today he is best known for internationally exhibited installations and performance art, concerned as much with innovative language as with technology, and for continuing work in a broad range of media. His longtime work with intermedia explores an array of issues ranging from the physicality of language, synesthesia and perceptual conundrums to ontological space and viewer interactivity. The recipient of many awards, his influential work has been exhibited in most major contemporary art museums worldwide.
