Kinetica Museum takes up residency this Autumn at the Hospital Club in Covent Garden, with a curated exhibition and festival entitled Gravity.

The exhibition focuses on metaphysical concepts, forces in nature, the indivisible and an insight into the cosmic realms, highlighting radical new thinking within the fields of art, science and imagination with no bounds.

The festival programme took place in the gallery space of The Hospital Club from 30th October to 1st November:

Friday 30th October

1pm
Balint Bolygo presents the theories behind his mechanical installations and laser projections, and discusses the concepts surrounding natural and gravitational forces within his captivating harmonic work.

4pm
Interactive Agents orchestrate their ‘Hydro Acoustic Big Bang Filter’, a large musical instrument which allows members of the audience the opportunity to not only experience the sound of the Big Bang, but to ‘play’ it.

Saturday 31st October

11am
Pierre Binetruy from the Paris Centre for Cosmological Physics discusses his work on cosmology, gravitation and the early Universe.

11.30
Paul Friedlander reveals his work as a light artist & physicist, working with superstring theory and waveforms.

12.00
Professor George Smoot, Nobel Prizewinner in Physics for his research on cosmic background radiation – the relic of intense heat from the origins of the Universe, discusses his work on astrophysics and observational cosmology.

12.30
‘Gravity and Grace’, a talk by Richard Bright, exploring how artistic and scientific preoccupations and imaginations deal with the spiritual and the concept of ‘complementarity‘, a term that suggests the ability to hold different world-views that also inform one another.

1pm
Liliane Lijn is recognised for utilising highly original combinations of industrial materials and artistic processes, and pioneering the interaction of art, science, technology and eastern philosophy. She will discuss her current “Moonmeme’ project and her residency at the NASA Space Sciences Laboratory.

1.30
John Martineau presents his ideas on geometry and harmony in the solar system, and demonstrates his findings: cosmic coincidences and astronomical discoveries that culminated in his ‘Little Book of Coincidences’

2pm
PANEL DISCUSSION: Art, Imagination and Cosmology – The future of art and the role of artists within the field of science.
The panel will explore imagination within the realms of science and focus on how artists ‘inventions’ have helped further concepts within science.
PANELLISTS: Professor George Smoot and Professor Pierre Binetruy from the Paris Centre for Cosmological Physics; acclaimed international artists Liliane Lijn and Paul Friedlander; Richard Bright, Director of the Interalia Centre and online magazine; and cosmologist John Martineau. Chaired by Kinetica Artistic Director Dianne Harris.

4pm
UBIKTeatro present ‘Oscilla’, a stimulating audiovisual exploration of the oscillating nature of sound and harmonic structures, and through the convergence of music, theatre, video and technology they present their two stereoscopic and holographic installations.

4.45pm
Analema Group reveal their explorations of the relationship between sound, colour, light, movement and form. Eugenia Emets will demonstrate the healing properties of sound resonance using ancient Tibetan bowls. And Oliver Gingrich explains how thoughts and emotions are translated into dynamic colour through the brainwave monitoring of their ground-breaking ‘Aura’ installation.

Sunday 1st November

2pm
Jasmine Pradissitto presents her theories on Quantum Art. As an ex-physicist turned visual artist, her pieces are process-based using the mathematical and time-dependent laws of forces and gravity.

4pm
Kinetic light sculptor and physicist Paul Friedlander will perform with his mesmerising hand-held wave structures and projections, accompanied by Zoot Lynham, who plays the Hang, a steelplan musical instrument.

Supported by The Hospital Club & The Paris Centre for Cosmological Physics.
