The #olafureliasson retrospective at @tate is a must see. Get there at opening time and have a bit more space to play. The artworks rely on very basic principles of science and everyday phenomenon that we tend to ignore or overlook. Save some time for the final room which presents a wall covered with articles and questions that have informed his work. #contemporaryart #art #olafureliasson #tatemodern #london #physics #light #mirrors #rainbows #reflections #shadows #gallery #
Wondering what to do with your Christmas lights? Try this! This is the first of many digital installations exploring the possibilities of light, sound and space at @sonarplusd conference at the @sonarfestival in Barcelona. It is called Dragon O by @ledpulse #sonar #digitalart #contemporaryart #cultureisdigital #barcelona #spain #lightfestival
Just a taste of what you will experience if you visit Atmospheric Memory at Manchester Museum of Science & Industry @simeventsmcr as part of @mifestival. Inspired by computing pioneer Charles Babbage’s 180-year-old proposal that the air is a ‘vast library’ holding every word ever spoken, this immersive installation features an array of ‘Atmospheric Machines’ that mine the air for turbulence caused by speech, then transform it into something we can see, hear and even touch: trails of vapour, ripples on water, epic 360-degree projections. Work by artist @lozanohemmer Lozano-Hemmer produced by @futureverything #sciencemuseum #manchestermuseumofscienceandindustry #mif #manchesterinternationalfestival #science #climatechange #contemporaryart #cultureisdigital #futureeverything
Faith Ringgold at @serpentineuk is a must see. #blackpower #blackartists #contemporaryart #collage #craft #painting #graphicart #civilrights #decolonisation #serpentinegallery #faithringgold
