SCA Art
PhD candidate, Alex Fensham's exhibition studying the effects of light on and in the environment will open at Taylor Galleries on Thursday 5 November, 7.30pm. The exhibition will be officially opened by SCA Lecturer, Dr Danie Mellor.
"With the majority of the world’s population now inhabiting cities, the urban landscape has become the dominant factor in determining people’s self-identity. This also changes the catalysts that engage us in the conception of ‘higher’ ideas. My art explores the possibility that the technological conditions of contemporary experience can influence people’s perception of the infinite. Therefore, shaping the potential for experiencing the sublime," Alex Fensham.
LUMENS will be on display until Sunday 22 November.
SCA Foundation Coordinator, Dr Caleb Kelly's first book Cracked Media: The Sound of Malfunction (MIT Press, 2009), will be officially launched by Professor Ross Gibson on Sunday 8 November, 3.30pm at gleebooks. From the mid-twentieth century into the twenty-first, artists and musicians manipulated, cracked, and broke audio media technologies to produce novel sounds and performances. In Cracked Media, Kelly explores how the deliberate utilisation of the normally undesirable (a crack, a break) has become the site of productive creation. Kelly’s research is based in the sound arts, specifically as it relates to art and music. He has written for numerous art publications and is currently editing an anthology entitled Sound for the Documents in Contemporary Art series published by Whitechapel Gallery in London and MIT Press.

Shivers down your spine : cinema, museums, and the immersive view - Alison Griffiths.
Call Number: 069 108
From the architectural spectacle of the medieval cathedral and the romantic sublime of the nineteenth-century panorama, humans have gained a deeper understanding of the natural world through highly illusionistic representations that engender new modes of seeing, listening, and thinking. What unites and defines many of these wondrous spaces is an immersive view-an invitation to step inside the virtual world of the image and become a part of its universe, if only for a short time.
