Bridget Mac Solo Exhibition ‘GLAS’

admin — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 01:14:25 +0000

Light reflects and refracts sweeping across the walls, momentarily revealing itself as images of a landscape, before sweeping away again. Projecting images created on a field trip to Iceland in 2010, the installation captures a hyper-idealist landscape from that which already exists.

Opening 3 March 4 – 6pm; exhibition runs from February 29 until 17 March at Trocadero Art Space, Level 1, 119 Hopkins Street, Footscray, Vic.

Sea Bed Meditation

admin — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 13:34:38 +0000

Oceanic scientist turned experimental musician, Jürgen Müller, held a life-long fascination with the ocean. He built a make-shift studio on his house boat docked in the North Sea of Germany, borrowed instruments from friends and recorded the ‘Science Of The Sea‘ LP. He persuaded a film crew to go on a mission to record some sea-bed toxicity testing off-shore; the footage of which he used for this clip. Whilst never finding success with his music, we are left with a serene underwater lullaby that echoes the surroundings it was created in.

The Lettuce Slug

admin — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 12:13:40 +0000

Lettuce sea slugs (Elysia crispata) are a commonly found in protected nearshore Floridian waters where green macroalgae proliferates. They belong to a clan of sea slugs, the sarcoglossans, that are characterized by their ‘sap-sucking’ feeding habits of algae. These slugs slowly patrol mangrove roots and rocks searching for green algae upon which they feed. They store some of the chloroplasts from eaten algae in their tissue, giving it the green coloration. The chloroplasts continue to function, providing the slug with photosynthetic energy. The ruffles along the back of the lettuce sea slug are called parapodia, and help provide more surface area for the chloroplasts to inhabit. They also camouflage the slug amongst the leafy algae that they live amongst. It is very easy to swim past a lettuce nudibranch without ever noticing it.

Making string figures is a ubiquitous human activity whose beginning is lost in the pre-history of man. no one knows when it began, but the use of yarn, cord, sinew and threads is well established early in man’s activities

Is there a relationship between our dreams and dimensions? A sort of hyperspatial dreamension.

Harmonic Fields

admin — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 07:47:51 +0000

Composer Pierre Sauvageot’s Harmonic Fields project is a participatory landscape of wind-activated musical instruments temporarily installed on the beach near Birkrigg Common, Cumbria, England. The haphazard plinks, drum rolls, whistles and drones is often mesmerizingly beautiful, as the following video makes clear. It’s a kind of weather plug-in, constructed as a sequence of very different movements in space.

TCHMO

I think my eyes and brain just short-circuited. TCHMO is a digital artist who creates stunning mashups: abstract landscapes, cloudscapes, and portraits drenched in colour. The end result is bright, fascinating and deliciously trippy. His work can be viewed on his tumblr and purchased here.

Sound carries and consciousness

The science of cymatics demonstrates that a single tone can manifest complex geometries & structures in the material realm. When many tones, frequency signatures are simultaneously coupled together in a chordal fashion, they yield greater complexity, growth and creation. A sequence of tones, a melody, can take this notion even further still.
