  • Synapse Leggett

    The science and art synapse Mike Leggett With increasingly evil results to all of us, the separation is every day widening between the man of science and the artist…. [the artists] not only do not desire, they imperatively and scornfully refuse, either the force, or the information, which are beyond the scope of the flesh…

  • SonicDifference_02 Percival

    Sonic ecology: SonicDifference Conference Bob Percival Plato’s Cave is the first place that I am metaphorically taken to by Nigel Helyer, the curator of the Sonic Difference exhibition and convener of this parallel conference.

I knew Nigel Helyer would have a lot to say, because even before winning the Helene Lempriere National Sculpture Award earlier this year, he had been busy. And since taking out that prize he’d been…

  • SonicDifference Percival

  • ISEA2004

    ISEA 2004 Layers of Performance By by Stanislav Roudavski People play with “the algorithmically controlled quadraphonic soundscape and its visual manifestations” in Sonic Spaces, an installation by Shawn Pinchback. Photographs by Stanislav Roudavski. Aboard flight 18.45, London – Helsinki, people scan each other for the happy signs of genius. And no wonder. According to the…
