magnetic movie

The secret lives of invisible magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic ever-changing geometries . All action takes place around NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratories, UC Berkeley, to recordings of space scientists describing their discoveries . Actual VLF audio recordings control the evolution of the fields as they delve into our inaudible surroundings, revealing recurrent ‘whistlers’ produced by fleeting electrons . Are we observing a series of scientific experiments, the universe in flux, or a documentary of a fictional world?

White Plane_Alex Bradley+Charlie Poulet

First seen at Baltic gallery, Whiteplane2 is a unsettling, beautiful sound installation incorporating a new live performance created for the ICA. Alex Bradley and Charles Poulet use ambisonic techniques – immersive sound – to inhabit the very fabric of the building, inviting the audience to rethink their ideas of perspective, light and depth. Bradley and Poulet will write a score which will fully integrate with the ICA theatre, and which will be augmented by live improvisation at a different tempo to the main score, creating what the artists call a “rhythm of position”. The audience will be free to wander around Whiteplane2, a space that moves from the familiar to the unfamiliar through sonic illusion, provoking a feeling of subtle dislocation. Co-produced by Alex Bradley and Helen Cole. Commissioned by Arnolfini in association with amino and Baltic. Ambisonic Development and software by Raj Patel and Alban Bassuet, Arup Acoustics. Supported by Contemporary Music Network. Funded by Arts Council England.
