Consciousness Reframed 11 – Making Reality Really Real
The status of our reality is uncertain. The solid objective world of our everyday experience is a representation of an oscillating immateriality that we recognise, at another level of resolution, as constituting quantum phenomena. It?s not that matter doesn?t matter anymore, so much perhaps as the idea that matter isn?t matter anymore. Can we not reasonably ask whether there is a reality beyond what quantum mechanics describes, even closer to the really real?
The Pleasure of Light
The Pleasure of Light exhibition and conference aim to present the pioneering interdisciplinary concepts of György Kepes and Frank J. Malina through the course of their lives, creations and enduring influence. Simultaneously we wish to chart the intersection of art, science and technology, particularly in the last century.

"AlphaAlpha" is composed of 365 instances of the letter "A" plus one more for the leap year. The letters are col...
