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.

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.
