xxxxx_micro research salons on the last Thursday of each month (and occasional other dates) for local and international researchers to gather to discuss common research themes and endeavour.
Calendar: March 26th 8PM: scrying salon [with Martin Howse] April 23rd 8PM: ALMAProject. Fata Morgana and Other Optical Phenomenons [with Connie Mendoza] ///// March 26th 8PM: scrying salon [with Martin Howse] Here the vulgar eye will see nothing but Obscurity and will despair considerably. Scrying is a technique of divination and revelation, of producing visions, perhaps of the future, through prolonged gaze at an object, usually of crystal or liquid nature. Scrying was famously practiced by the 16th century astronomer, mathematician and alchemist John Dee with the assistance of presumed impostor Edward Kelley, using a mirror of obsidian amongst other devices. The scrying project presents a generic, modular platform for artists and theorists working with both code and electromagnetic phenomena. Of central concern is an intervention within often complex spectral ecologies; for example, measurement of the strength of EM fields, transmission and reception amongst mobile networks of devices, large-scale intervention through the production of high field strength emissions, mapping of intensities and blind city flaneur. The scrying salon will open with a short presentation. Appropriate food and drinks will be served. Free entry. RSVP.
