What happens at Earth’s poles affects us all; combined, they are our planet’s thermostat. Loss of ice in these places has a direct impact on our seas globally; and weather, perhaps the principal consideration for all who go to sea, becomes increasingly unpredictable.

Beneath the burning desert sun, metallic roots twist, a feathered snake glides, and arms of water flow through an Earth tree, glistening with fireflies. On motley rocks corn sprouts as mushrooms take root. Night falls, stars shimmer, and branches of Araucaria extend spiked arms in search of an embrace. Quaresmeira flowers bloom as the Spider Goddess scatters seeds in this virtual landscape.

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.)

Alt-w Fund
Explore the Alt-w Fund archive here.
Initiated in Dundee by Scottish Screen, the Alt-w Fund is for practitioners based in Scotland to make and develop new artworks, devices and creative applications that challenge the notions of what new media creativity can be.
The fund supports artists to explore experimental and interactive practice, make use of technology as both medium and message, and recognise the changing role that digital culture has in our society.

An invitation to journey - an exploration of landscapes both familiar and fantastical, guided by the unbroken flow of a pure white line against a vast black canvas. Each element - a castle perched on a winding path, a lone tree, a wave curling into the unknown - represents a place of potential, an anchor in this visual narrative of discovery.

Music Hall, Union Street, Aberdeen AB10 1QS
As part of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Peacock, the printmaking workshop based in Aberdeen, we've co-commissioned a new piece of animated work for the Music Hall by Glasgow and Copenhagen-based artist, printmaker and publisher David Bellingham.
Bellingham's work is poetic and concise. He uses a diverse range of media, from painting and sculptural installation to books, postcards and other printed material, to explore the relationships between objects, words and contexts, often inverting our preconceptions about them.

Ancient folklore around the world infer that everything has a spirit or essence. The Romans named the protective spirit of a place, Genus Loci. In Scotland many bodies of water were worshipped as deities. In Aberdeen, the River Dee's name was derived from the word ‘deva’, meaning goddess but what spirits lie beneath the surface of our waters now?
