Earth Moves is only available for installation on a widescreen TFT or equivalent. It is not available for cinema projection.
Earth Moves is a continuation of Semiconductors exploration into how unseen forces affect the fabric of our world. The limits of human perception are exposed, revealing a world which is unstable and in a constant state of animation as the forces of acoustic waves come into play on our surroundings.
The south-east of England is explored through a series of five audio controlled photographic panoramas. Semiconductor collected sound recordings and photographs on location at: The A23 at Pease Pottage, Witterings NT reserve, Findon Valley, John St Brighton and Adur Valley cement factory. The sounds were used to re-animate the landscape at each location.
Earth Moves is an Arts Council England commission and is permanently installed at the South East offices, Brighton.
