Brilliant Noise
Dark Studio
Free
Semiconductor’s stunning new sound and video installation investigates our perception of the natural world. During a five-month fellowship at NASAs Space Sciences Laboratory, Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt explored the techniques, materials and philosophies used by scientists to discover near-space. This new work reveals worlds beyond our sensory awareness which probe the limits of human understanding and experience including images of the sun and visual representations of magnetic fields.
