Human Biosonar project
Radar, residency Electronic and Electrical Engineering Department at Loughborough University 2009.
Echolocation and perception. Sensing the world though ultrasonic ‘echo-perception’ has many advantages. Ultrasound can be used to penetrate a medium and measure ‘reflection signature’. This not only tells us about the location and shape of an object, but can reveal hidden details about its inner structure, which would not be available to us visually...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…

Images from a Creative Partnerships project with FGHS 2009. Year 9 students invented wearable technologies for interacting with computers including, Techno Tap sensor shoe which used and optical sensor to generate sound, a speaking USB Sensor Glove, and a head band that detects your emotional state and selects music accordingly. The completed objects will be shown as part of Manchester International festival..

Owl Project collaboration..
More exciting m-log [ilog-data] workshops to be held soon in london and Edinburgh over september to october. contact us for information, to be announced soon. See www.owlproject.com

"Mercury Beating Heart" experiment. A pulsating droplet of mercury (chemical oscillator)- Project with University College London, for the Big Draw. 27th Sept08 Click for film

xxxxx 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

Interspecies
CORNERHOUSE, 70 Oxford Street, Manchester
From Sat 24 January to Sun 22 March

Beatriz Da Costa, Antony Hall, Ruth Maclennan, Rachel Mayeri, Kira O' Reilly, Nicolas Primat

ENKI experiment 3 (showing as part of the Interspecies exhibition) is a FREE ticketed piece for over 16s only. Please book in advance for a 20 minute slot through Box Office (0161 200 1500, 12noon - 8.00pm daily).

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/

SPECTROPIA: ART+COMMUNICATION 2008
October 16 - 18, 2008. Riga, Latvia
International festival for new media culture
Electromagnetic fields are biologically active. Emitting from every electronic device, electromagnetic fields affect our body and the living nature. They interact with the natural emissions and intersect the boundaries of our planet. Invisible and omnipresent, electromagnetic fields have become ghosts of the modern world... http://rixc.lv/08/
