Brilliant Noise Exhibition in Brighton 30th Nov to 13th Jan 2008
We have a big show at the Fabrica Gallery in Brighton showing a 3 screen installation version of Brilliant Noise taking up one whole side of the Gallery.
There will also be our Animate / Channel 4 commission short film Magnetic Movie which is to be aired on Channel Four sometime over the next few weeks. And finally the full length version of Do You Think Science... where we interviewed scientists at the NASA Space Sciences Lab UCB about the unknowable in their lives and work.
The Longest Night. On the evening of the winter solstice, 21st December, we are organising a live event with Goodiepal, Scotch Egg, Antenna Farm and ourselves. There will also be a group jam to our Brilliant Noise installation , a live image performace by us and our Sonic Inc software. Only £3, tickets in advance from Fabrica.The show will move onto the Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol next year and then the SightSonic festival in York.

"Essential viewing if you have any interest in the converging worlds of audio and visual digital art." Kultureflash
"A jam packed DVD from one of the audio-visual world’s most intriguing acts - a must see." Boomkat
"Versatile but always coherent in style and visual options Semiconductor are definitively placed in our personal hall of fame of digital cinematic artists." Neural.it
"Space physicists and avant garde artists like Semiconductor both explore their respective spaces, and on this DVD there’s room for those two worlds to intersect." Popmatters
"There's plenty of seriousness here but Semiconductor never lose touch with their animators funny bones", "My favorite is The Sound of Microclimates, filmed in Paris for a surround sound installation. This is animation as ambiguity - is this cloud really hovering over the building? Why is there an iceberg in the municipal pond? Semiconductor's surly electronic soundtrack suggests a sci-fi distortion of the everyday city, till at dusk the glowing lights of the traffic detach themselves and flock like birds. In a moment of great beauty they swarm across Paris to nestle between skyscrapers, jiggling as if crammed into a discotheque for off duty tail-lights." Clive Bell, The Wire
"Becoming an audio-visual palette-cleanser for the bastion of commercial music seems an odd fate for the work of the first artists-in-residence at the NASA Space Sciences Laboratory (Berkeley, CA), but it’s symptomatic of Semiconductor’s continual expansion and ability to transcend confines posed by genre." Liam Arnold Skinny
