Semiconducter: The Technological Sublime
“Magnetic Movie” (2007), a Semiconductor film
I highly recommend reading the article “Art Draws the Beauty Out of Physics: Labs around the world open their doors to aesthetic creation.”Published last week out of Symmetry Magazine by Angela Anderson, the piece explicates the importance of artist residencies in physics laboratories.
Semiconductor, an artist group comprised of Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt, are “known for exploring matter through the tools and processes of science”; they recently were invited to CERN to be artists in residence.
You are not a waste of space. Remember that.

20 Hz by Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt
"Ruth Jarman's and Joe Gerhardt’s delightfully hypnotic semiconductor work 20 Hz visualizes a geo-magnetic storm occurring in the Earth's upper atmosphere. With data collected from the CARISMA radio array, we hear tweeting and rumbles caused by incoming solar wind captured at the frequency of 20 Hertz. Generated directly by the sound, trippy ripples and tangible sculptural forms emerge in complex patterns, creating interference phenomena that probe the very limits of our perception."
