Taking place in Bournemouth until 20th January 2024, Seismic – Art Meets Science Exhibition aims to bridge the gap between art and science. By exploring the intersection of these two disciplines, it showcases the work of artists who have been inspired by scientific concepts and discoveries.
The City Adventurers visited and were drawn to the hanging crystal display hidden behind a curtain. It turned out to be “Jewel of Space” by Shuster + Moseley.
“Jewel of Space” traces an inner landscape of channels, pathways and luminous sites. The glass elements transmute from hewn chunks to defined prismic geometries and lens forms that interact with projected light to evoke a language of spectral illumination – a cosmological map and the geography of the secret body, manifesting in space.

We were also intrigued by Claire Morgan’s “Heart of Darkness” which comprised Bluebottle Flies arranged with geometric precision to show the contrast between the ordered and the wild. David Richard’s Cosmic Field with its hi-hat cymbals and cosmic ray detectors that operated when people moved past also grabbed peoples attention. Turns out that each of the 12 cymbals contains a Geiger counter which causes them to play.
The Seismic – Art Meets Science Exhibition provided to be a thought-provoking experience.
