Semiconductor

Semiconductor is artist duo Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt. Through moving image, sound and multi-media installations they explore the material nature of our world and how we experience it, questioning our place in the physical universe.

Magnetic Movie, 2007 is an animated project commissioned for channel 4 in association with the arts council England. It is a project created from highly scientific information filtered through everyday logistics to arrive at a shared and multi-faceted language. Being confronted with unseeable and the unknown challenged the artists to make sense of such an experience. Through there desire to find meaning they began to devise their own imaginary interpretations of what was expressed to try to find a way to comprehend and picture this world that exists beyond sensory perceptions. (Animation in Process by Andrew Selby.)
