Kosmoscope: An immersive audiovisual art installation by Tim Redfern.

Kosmoscope utilises the Global Seismographic Network, a coordinated network of seismographic instruments publicly accessible via the internet for monitoring, research and education. While the primary focus of the GSN is to monitor earthquakes, it has other uses for example in policing the International Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

Using state of the art seismic monitoring techniques, Kosmoscope renders live scientific data impressionistically, making the worldwide network of
ultra-sensitive seismic microphones audible and creating an imposing, visually
fractured narrative evoking the frailty of humanity in the face of geological forces.

Tim Redfern is a Dublin based Artist who works primarily with technology, creating artefacts and experiences which connect people, devices and networks in novel ways. His work has been shown at many art & technology events internationally such as Art Futura (Barcelona), Lofi (UK), Garage Festival (Germany) and in venues such as Baltic (Gateshead, UK), and the ICA London.
His video work has previously featured in Darklight and on the cover DVD of Creative Review (UK).

Kosmoscope is supported by the Arts Council.

Kosmoscope opens 26th June 6-8pm
and runs 27th June – 5th July inclusive.
