• A Theory of Everything //
  • This is the blog for artist Elizabeth Murton. It is based on her art-science explorations which began with 'A Theory of Everything' which was on show in June 2011 at Core Gallery, Deptford, London.

    This brought together artists and scientists who work in different media and in different fields to explore this notion. With sound, installation, photography, sculpture, video and scientific research, this exhibition tentatively renders it all together under one theory of everything.

Daniel Jone’s Piece, a sneaky peak. Here is what Daniel say’s about the work: ‘Bacterial organisms exhibit a trait that is unique within the living world… bacteria are able to exchange genetic information with their neighbours, via packets of DNA known as ‘plasmids’. This enables bacteria to temporarily adopt characteristics which may give them a competitive advantage in a hostile environment… rise to complex evolutionary patterns. “Horizontal Transmission” (2011) simulates these dynamics in a 3D space, representing populations of cells both visually and sonically. When sound is detected from the gallery space by the attached microphone, it is transformed into a plasmid and deposited in the virtual space.’

Weekend

Had a great weekend, meetings with Caroline, Daniel and Liliana in preparation for install this week. I am very excited about seeing the show together. And I enjoyed open studios at Core. There is quite a buzz about!

Here is a sneaky peak of my new piece inspired by Gray’s Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory of Personality I have made through many discussions with psychologist Kaidy Stautz. He has just given me a great idea to finish it off!  The tracing paper in the work gives it the blurry look, as indeed the theory is not clear cut and still being researched….

I had a sneak preview of Paula Salischiker’s collages. These are real brain scans. She has research how we understand different areas in the brain to function. This has inspired the imagery and texture used. This is a work in progress, final piece will be on display from the 24th June. Image courtesy of the artist
