Originally developed as a tool for the creation of a series of lithographs based on Ernst Haeckel’s ‘Kunstformen Der Natur’ - the tool has now been reformatted for premiere at the Music Hall. Organisms on screen are generated by machine learning and animated using latent space interpolation to calculate the best trajectory between each.

German scientist Ernst Chladni (1756-1827) was a pioneer of experimental acoustics. One of his inventions was a technique to study the motions of vibrating metal plates. In this exploration of 'Cymatics', the science of visualising audio frequencies, Bright Side Studios will reveal the visual patterns of audio by experimenting with a Chlandi Plate.

This project explores the coastal areas of Scotland where industrial and natural structures have become interwoven. These areas, where life began the evolutionary journey from ocean to land, are at risk due to rising water levels. This anthropogenic impact on the coast is highlighted by the artist via photogrammetry of the emerging assemblages.

Aberdeen-raised artist KMG, who trained at Gray's School of Art, has unleashed her multi-eyed character ‘Ken’ onto the Music Hall screen. In this new animation the character is seen skateboarding, surfing and riding a fox no less. An unmistakable combination, filled with playful enthusiasm.
KMG's work explores themes ranging from the precarious to the mundane, with often quite subversive results. A weird and wonderful combination of curiosity mixed with utter cynicism leaves her work with a surreal and sarcastic tone. Her belief in the power of accessible art is unshakeable.

The chronoscope is designed to not only tell the time but also convey how, why and what time really is. As each slender slither of time bursts into being, the chronoscope gauges the exact nature of that particular moment and visualises it. (It is no wonder that the chronoscope sometimes runs a little slow.)

A contemporary play on the ‘Carta Marina,’ the late middle age marine map created in 1532 by the Swedish theologist and cartographer Olaus Magnus. In this work Leishman is interested in playing with the speculative freedom of the so-called ‘dark ages’ and how this resonates today in our post-truth, image saturated and polarized culture(s).

Motifs from the realm of neoclassical architecture dance and evolve on screen, tracing a journey from the ancient, analogue and physical, to the modern, digital and abstract. Craft techniques such as tiling, mosaic, marquetry, weave and stitch all originated as mathematical pattern structures and here are brought full circle, ‘re-encoded’ as algorithms.
