Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt in person
Exploring their nearly 15-year-long collaboration, this program presents both a retrospective and a glimpse of the current and future projects of one of the most fascinating duos in the world of animation: Semicondutor. Comprised of artists Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt, Semiconductor has long been innovating the field of live cinema with their uses of specially developed algorithms, transposition of sound into image and innovations in virtual camera use. The common thread that runs through all of their work—whether moving image or sound and multimedia installations—is an extended examination of the material nature of our world and an investigation into how we experience it. Semiconductor’s ongoing fascination with science has led them to participate in research fellowships with such organizations as the Gulbenkian Galapagos, Smithsonian Artists Research and NASA Space Sciences. This wide-ranging program offers works selected from Semiconductor’s long collaboration, including films born from their residencies, live cinema performance and new initiatives in their ongoing quest to visualize science.
