Beneath the burning desert sun, metallic roots twist, a feathered snake glides, and arms of water flow through an Earth tree, glistening with fireflies. On motley rocks corn sprouts as mushrooms take root. Night falls, stars shimmer, and branches of Araucaria extend spiked arms in search of an embrace. Quaresmeira flowers bloom as the Spider Goddess scatters seeds in this virtual landscape.

This installation investigates the ways in which we might retain a sense of reality in a world where technology offers ever more opportunities for immersion in the virtual. Symmetrical webs and waves of light rise upward, sculpted and spun into ethereal three-dimensional structures, building an extraordinary crystalline cathedral of light.

Glasgow-based artist Heather Lander's collaboration with sonic artist Robert Bentall uses projection and sound. Bentall’s ambient work 'Telian' – played on the nyckelharpa, a traditional Swedish string instrument, accompanies the installation. Lander shows us where technology has taken us – and asks us to question where we may go next.

26th October to 5th November 2017. RSVP

#UNRAVEL is a new work by FOUND and Aidan Moffat completed during a residency with New Media Scotland. This collection of devices forms a reactive sound installation in which visitors can unravel the truth about a narrator’s life by playing records from his collection.

A record player then controls a series of custom musical instruments. These self-playing instruments soundtrack the story of the narrator as he recounts a memory from his life. Each record represents a different memory, but they sound different every time they are played.
