Time for some shameless self promotion!

I'm doing an audio/visual installation with a friend for the the University of Sheffield's Festival of the Mind.

It has been made in collaboration with professor Róbertus von Fáy-Siebenbürgen, whose research focusses on the Sun's electro magnetic weather, and who has supplied us with data taken from 7 sunspots.

The data is converted into computer generated patterns which are projected onto a 7-piece modular light-reactive screen. As the patterns of light – symmetrical and phasing – shift across the screen, graduations in intensity give life to an abstract soundscape; fluctuations in solar magnetic activity translated into a tangible, immersive experience; each module a looping snapshot of a sunspot, poetic and incomprehensible in its short, magnificent life.

If you happen to be in Sheffield over the next week or so, please check it out!
Also having a launch party on the 20th.

I've also contributed some artwork (glitched arcade game boot screens) for an exhibition in an online virtual art gallery (a recreation of a wing in the tate Modern, built in Unity), called Computer Love, which should be live very soon – http://festivalofthemind.group.shef.ac.uk/computer-love-2/
