~ in the fields reinvent old media, modify ancient, odd machines and play with optical toys. They found the starting point for this exhibition on the Shetland Islands leading them to investigate the very elements and definition of Scottish landscape and seascape.

This body of work takes on the old notions of observation, research and (dis)play. In two of their installations, the artists have chosen to make particular reference to the aquariums of Victorian oceanographic scientists and the 16th century bookwheel of Agostino Ramelli.

Can Printed Electronics Save the Music Industry?

In this exclusive preview of a panel presentation to be given at SXSW Interactive in Austin, Texas this March, we are delighted to welcome Jon Rogers from the University of Dundee, Kate Stone from Novalia, Pete Thomas from Uniform and Tommy Perman from FOUND.

Printed Electronics is an emerging technology with the potential to change how we interact. We can now reliably print basic electronic components onto paper and card; and when connected to conventional electronics, has the potential to re-connect digital to physical.

#UNRAVEL is a new work by FOUND and Aidan Moffat completed during a residency with New Media Scotland. This collection of devices forms a reactive sound installation in which visitors can unravel the truth about a narrator’s life by playing records from his collection.

A record player then controls a series of custom musical instruments. These self-playing instruments soundtrack the story of the narrator as he recounts a memory from his life. Each record represents a different memory, but they sound different every time they are played.

Spinning Bits

19th Nov 2011 to 18th Feb 2012. Tue-Sat 10am-5pm.
Talbot Rice Gallery, Old College, South Bridge, Edinburgh

In 2011 the University of Edinburgh celebrates the tercentenary of David Hume. In this context Talbot Rice Gallery has put beauty in the frame with an exhibition exploring taste and subjectivity in the visual arts.

The premise is simple: artists, individuals and organisations across Scotland were invited to nominate a work of art they consider to be beautiful. We chose Alt-w funded 'Spinning Bits' by Andy Law & Mil Stricevic.
