1 November 2022 - 7 January 2023 Chronoscope

Robert Powell with Louise Wild The chronoscope is designed to not only tell the time but also convey how, why and what time really is. As each slither of time bursts into being, it gauges and visualises the exact nature of that particular moment. (It is no wonder that the chronoscope sometimes runs a little slow.) Luckily, it has a range of tricks inherited from medieval astronomical clocks and its namesakes made by James Cox (1723-1800). Using these, it can express as many individual temporal characters as there are motes of time in the universe.

Human AutomatArt Silent Chaos

Every human being has become a living set of data and a potential content creator. The Music Hall is now a bespoke information collector, gathering data from the people and the activities occurring there, via a bespoke network of different sensors, and then visualised live. Silent Chaos analyse and decode the world through the use of new technologies. By creating unusual instruments, which can include live plants, to play in their performances, they research and experiment with new media, live video manipulation, sound-driven video and creative coding.
