Environmental Graffiti continually discovers the most amazing images, videos and art installations – all centered on nature, environmental science, the built environment. Recently the site featured Semiconductor, UK artists Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt, who use digital animation to explore sound, time and natural forces.
“Sound As You’ve Never Seen it Before” begins:
“People become trains, trains become movement and sound, and time blurs into past, present and future simultaneously. Meet Semiconductor, a Brighton-based artist duo obsessed with our environment, landscape, architecture, chaos theory and other subjects. In creative and original fashion, they have been creating cutting-edge digital artworks – their sound films – since 1999.”
Semiconductor describes their moving
image works as revealing “cities in motion, shifting landscapes and systems in
chaos.“ Short films include The Sound of Microclimates, Acousticity,
Earthmoves, Matter in Motion, and Time Out of Place (from
2007), illustrating
how the Kings Cross area in London
“is rapidly transforming, creating a city in flux.”
