We discuss the production of her soon to be released album “Cold and Liquid”, the loss of her voice, singing pets and more. Listen to the episode here Exhibition Opening:  Sorcha Wilcox Quantum Art Space: Event Potential in Practice You're invited to the opening of Sorcha's final exhibition for her PhD investigation, Quantum Art Space: Event Potential in Practice, this Friday 18th October from 6-8pm in our Spatial Studio.  "to understand the project one needs to get into it, and cast their own shadow upon it, and this exhibition provides you with the opportunity to do just that."   The practice-led investigation finds the potential of visual material and attempts to re-consider the experience of making through the reflective (creative practice and speculative process) quantum theory. For example, the key quantum concepts, such as the frames of entanglement and formlessness, underpin this practice-led research and press us to think systematically. This has become paramount within the practice-led component of this PhD Project. The project uses quantum as an active participant that provides triggers to prompt ideas within the exchange between an art-work and the viewer and not as a fixed quantifiable moment. This research examines where and how the fields of quantum, philosophy of event and visual arts, intersect and work together, offering a new quantum focus throughout the creative process by directly addressing and deploying the actualities of interactions between processes and events for creative ends. Plant A Tree for $3  There's no denying climate change, and we all have an immense responsibility to act now. Feeling guilty, anxious, powerless? So are we. But remember, no action is too little.
