About

A discussion with artists Semiconductor, filmed during the exhibition of their project Earthworks at Fabrica in Brighton in November 2020.

Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt (Semiconductor) speak about their unique and innovative body of moving image works, sculptures and installations with Laura McDermott, Creative Director at the Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts (ACCA).

Engaging with scientific data as an artistic material has been central to the practice of Semiconductor, with a particular interest in how such information represents physical phenomena that exist beyond the limits of our daily experiences. During this talk the artists will highlight the ways in which our experience of nature is influenced by technology and media, and ultimately question our place within it.

Thanks to the team at Fabrica - especially Liz Whitehead and Laura London
