After my visit to Jodrell Bank (above) last month I’ve been thinking about re-engaging with the sciences for the first time in many years. I hadn’t visited the radio telescope for what is probably the best part of twenty years. It seems to have reignited that fascination with the stars, science and space, that I had when I was little boy. My trip up North was followed by my discovery of this absolutely incredible video thanks to one of my Twitterati:

I’ve been reading up on Quantum Physics following my trip to Jodrell Bank, and, in particular, Quantum Realities, which seems cover some simlar theoretical ground to to my own thinking that feeds into my art practice.

Otswald wrote in 1895 that “the task of science is to discern relations among realities… it is not a search for forces we cannot measure, acting between atoms we cannot observe”. As an artist however, I am not bound by such limitations. I am free to speculate, theorise and think in the most abstract and absurd ways I can imagine.

I feel there may be changes afoot within my practice although they may be a long way off yet.
