Latest
news on the latest project, Flow; A floating millhouse alongside the water-wheel
will contain a range of sensors, combining traditional and new technologies
to monitor key environmental details, including water temperature and speed,
salinity, and pollution. FLOW is in effect a musical instrument, powered
by the tidal river and manipulated by the audience. http://owlproject.com/flow
Pond
Life micro projector – 2010 Hackteria version
DIY Micro aquarium / terrarium to simulate, manipulate and observe freshwater
aquatic microenvironments [such as those associated with mosses and temporary
ponds with inline optical interface.
Throughout my practice I have been interested in creating small controlled environments
that need to be sustained nurtured and maintained. A repeating element is the
droplet, or globule. A self-contained unit of liquid mass supported by means
of its own surface tension; the strong attraction between molecules to like molecules.

residency project 2009
Loughborough University’s contemporary arts programme.
The catalyst for each season is a particular area of research or inquiry
that is current and is being investigated by both artists and academics.
Once identified, the themes act as a platform from which the issues and
ideas can be explored via a programme of performances, exhibitions, talks
and symposia, providing audiences with a range of opportunities to engage
with the concepts. http://arts.lboro.ac.uk


Biorama
2 -
University of Huddersfield and the Devil's Arse, Castleton, Hope Valley, Derbyshire
S33 8WS
Workshops: June 24th and 26th, University of Huddersfield.
Biorama2 will explore the biology of the underground through the notion of
'umwelt' developed by Jakob von Uexküll (1864 – 1944) and its influence
on the development of biosemiotics by Thomas Sebeok (1920 – 2001). Using
the underground of caves and mines and the organic life they contain as a form
of parallel terrestrial biology, we develop a 'parallel science' through the
study of extreme and/or 'removed lifeforms' and through the science of astrobiology.
Biorama II will explore a rich contextual and conceptual background against
which to investigate some of the outer (or inner) limits of terrestrial biology
and strategies for life…

micro research workshop, Berlin
Amplitude modulation Feb 27th 2009
During the workshop participants will investigate the use of solar cells and
other light sensitive components to generate sound from light, use lasers and
LEDs to transmit sounds, use liquid droplets to create sensitive microphones
and use liquids dynamic physical oscillators [chemical oscillation and cymatics]. http://www.1010.co.uk/org/workshop.html

Can artists work with animals as equals? It has recently been discovered
that humans are closer to the higher primates than was previously thought.
This exhibition, organised by The Arts Catalyst on the 200th anniversary
of Darwin’s birth brings together a group of artists who actively question
the sovereignty of the human species over the all other animal species. New
Arts Catalyst touring exhibition of new commissions and existing works by
artists collaborating with animals. http://www.artscatalyst.org/
