Semiconductor is artist duo Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt. Through moving image works they explore the material nature of our world and how we experience it, questioning our place in the physical universe. Worlds in the Making is an epic three channel moving image work that explores how we observe, experience and create an understanding of the physical origins of the world around us. By appropriating the tools and processes of volcanology to re-interpret the primordial landscapes of our volcanic planet, Semiconductor create a world slightly removed from the one we think we know, disrupting our every day assumptions of reality and questioning how science affects our experience of the natural world.
Go see their exhibition, ‘Solar Systems’ where three moving image works explore the mechanics of observing the Sun, from the vantage point of the Earth to our orbit in outer space.
The show is in Brighton from Sept 3rd to Oct 16th at Phoenix Studios.
