There was some great work to be seen at Kinetica this year, hosted at The Hospital Club. With some insightful lectures and intriguing work it's no wonder there has been a fair amount of model making in the studio of late. There are still a few pieces on show if you're in the mood for some interactive art.
Shot while on a year long artist's residency at HEIMA in Seyðisfjörður, Iceland. En route to get as close to I could to a partially frozen waterfall I noticed the unusual patterns the water was making as it flowed underneath the frozen surface of the water in the stream. Pockets of air were trapped and flowing underneath the ice which looked like scurrying creatures of some kind. During my residency I was exploring notions of our perception of reality, the nature of light, changing states of matter, the underlying structure of the landscape and our connection to the cosmos. I frequently deconstruct and reconstruct the environment, attempting to shift the view of the observer. Shot with a Canon 7D and a Sigma 105mm macro lens. www.alexandracarr.co.uk Sound by Laura Tack (a fellow artist in residence) http://www.lauratack.be/
An afternoon full of contemplation and the restorative powers of the landscape as a meditative tool...... One of the most relaxing applications in recents weeks. Thinking, feeling and writing while revisiting 'The Breath Beneath'.

What happens to mercury when it is exposed to various sound frequencies? This does.
Nick Moore placed a blob of quicksilver in the path of various sound waves between 10 and 120 Hz and then pressed record. What you’re seeing here, in slow motion, are three-dimensional standing waves forming in the mercury. The higher the frequency, the more “nodes” that form.
