A
busy 48 hours in London – meeting the new line up for synthetic anatomy at Kings
was great – it’s going to be a good one with some interesting performative
ideas to explore – it was also nice to see past models on the notice boards
around the lab. Back to 3D printing – a new piece that is a replica of itself
within itself. The work has the two pieces locked together reflecting
themselves without touching. It’s an offshoot path of research but also related
to ‘pages’ within a book in some way. Managed to check out the shows at
Goldsmith’s
– great work from Cinzia Ruggeri – surrealist fashion madness, Testing
Ground is a wonderful set of shows at The Science Museum at Kings – Particle
Shrine is particularly exciting – the installation takes live data from
five cosmic ray detectors installed at Science Gallery and from the
Super-Kamiokande neutrino observatory in Japan to transform invisible particles
into an audio-visual experience. The Horror show at Somerset House
is a promising premise but curatorially lacking. So many gaps, although it was great
to see Blue by Derek Jarman again. Onto screens – deep into Hacks
– which explores a dark mentorship that forms between Deborah Vance, a
legendary Las Vegas comedian, and an entitled, outcast 25-year-old – darkly funny.
