‘Notes from the Universe’ examines the Pythagorean concept of Music of the Spheres in relation to particle physics, the origins of the universe and creativity.

The event features Professor Brian Foster of Oxford University, Vesna Petresin Robert of Rubedo, and Ariane Koek of International Arts at CERN, and includes a screening of Rubedo’s audio-visual pieces as well as sounds of particles from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

Audiomorph

A new piece by Rubedo merging film, choreography, sound, pattern and sculpture, has been included in the ‘Block Party’ touring exhibition examining art and pattern cutting.

‘Audiomorph’ [Can I Wear My Song?] explores the space of the body in relation to its environment, where transformation is driven by sound parameters; the crystallised sonic pattern becomes a wearable architecture.

Curated by Lucy Orta and The Crafts Council.
