About

The Breathing City Art & science research residency by: Holger Zschenderlein, Dr. Janet Barlow, Chris Rose, Patrick Letschka 16 - 17 September 09 At: Lighthouse, 28 Kensington Street, Brighton, BN1 4AJ FREE You are invited to view the work-in-progress of The Breathing City project at the following drop-in times or by individual arrangement (between Tuesday & Thursday) by emailing: mail@lighthouse.org.uk) Drop-in times: Wednesday 16 September 2009, 12.30pm—2pm & 4.30pm—7pm Thursday 17 September 2009, 12.30pm—2pm & 4.30pm—7.30pm Members of this Art & Science collaboration will be present to talk about their work-in-progress, the installation and ongoing research of The Breathing City project. This project exists as an ongoing art and science collaboration between an urban meteorologist, a designer, material practitioner and composer/sound artist. Together they have embarked on a journey to explore modes of data representation, which connect the personal with the scientific, the sensory experience with the rational. Through the use of an evocative audio-visual ‘Ice — Traffic' installation, with image projections onto ice, they intend to share insights into the challenges of understanding localised phenomena within a global context. By locating the research in public spaces the project aims to generate a more inclusive debate, with potential to reach beyond the usual peer group discussion.
