Community meeting

MetaMatter is a laboratory of research and practice focused on transformations of matter. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, we look at chemical, physical and biochemical processes with the aim to build knowledge and tools for creative projects. We investigate color, state, mass and temperature to find out the conditions of reaction. We also research aspects of unfolding the nature of materiality, set in motion by using electromagnetism, luminescence and vibrations.

In our community meetings we have talks and presentations on topic-related projects together with a more pragmatic level of collecting experiences to share with others. Anyone with a passion for learning to understand the possibility of matter as an available medium for Art and Science is welcome to join.

In this session Hiroko Matsushita will present her work. She wrote:

Alongside of my personal interests with shadow and light, I present two collaborative projects using water and luminous afterimage respectively. Both projects closely involve motion to bring out unseen phenomena and physical qualities. Although they are unfolded through the position of designers, the process of development was based on hands-on experiments as it will be also shown in the presentation.

Beside, we could look into the final program of the coming exhibition of State of Matter which are bringing some relevant examples of artists busy on the topic and/or have a chance to hear from each other possible ideas for the maker-lab starting in September.
