Barry Underwood: Light Pollution Artist


Yes, but my attempt is not to portray environmental issues in a heavy-handed way. I think about science fiction and how the fantastic or supernatural is supported or given credibility by a ubiquitous everyday world. Within the storytelling there is a moral to the tale. There is a looking inward process or a self-evaluation (on cause and effect) and the consequences of one’s actions.

Fascinating: Aesthetic Apparatus

Aesthetic Apparatus is a screen-printing company. When they produce large runs of screen prints they first test it out on a piece of paper, which they reuse many times, resulting in these multi-layered, multi-coloured prints.

Aren't they fantastic?

It is fascinating to watch new meanings form from two pictures placed together seemingly at random.

The Singing Tree (Panopticons)


What is interactive? Is it an interface if the interaction happens between a non-human user and an instrument built for a non-human user?

Designed by Mike Tonkin and Anna Liu, the sculpture was finished in 2006 as a part of East Lancashire Environmental Arts Network (ELEAN), Lancashire, England.

You can hear it in action here:
