‘Our ancestors saw the creatures of the constellations in the apparently unorganised distribution of the stars. It has been shown experimentally through the viewing of random white dots on a screen that man tends to find patterns and picture where objectively there is none..’

YES ... @modularcurious spun out of @StartDivergence ... AND there are more innovations flowing from the confluence of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) subjects into experimental arts practice and the outer-reaches of the creative industries.

@StartDivergence : the rural eerie, a concept @modularcurious which inspired work in and around the SK1 Festival and The Ex-Top Man Residency.

The rural eerie is present in Cheshire (East &West): we have the sites and heritage to link this to rural modernism and retro-futurism…

We are curious about flicker...

[Luciana Haill @BrainAnalyser]

.. ‘his mental process shapes what it sees. Externals resonators, such as flicker, tune in with our internal rhythms and lead to their extension’ - Excerpt from #Flicker, by Ian Sommerville. Published in Olympia no.2 (Paris, 1962) #Dreamachine #entoptic
