Andrea Polli and Joe Gilmore Airlight Taipei


'Airlight is the name given to a visible white smog caused by the illumination of fine dust particles in the air. Airlight Taipei is a networked real-time sound and visual installation using updated data from an EPA air-quality monitoring station in central Taipei indicating various air pollutant levels including sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and ozone. This data is translated into sound and imagery in real time. The result is a rhythmic pulse that transforms throughout the day.'

semiconductor


'Semiconductor make moving image works which reveal our physical world in flux; cities in motion, shifting landscapes and systems in chaos. Since 1999 UK artists Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt have worked with digital animation to transcend the constraints of time, scale and natural forces; they explore the world beyond human experience, questioning our very existence.'
John came across these artists whose work is very relevant to the unit.
