Susan Eyre’s work investigates cosmological phenomena and unseen forces, such as cosmic rays and magnetic fields. Employing her own scientific systems of enquiry and technology to assist in revealing the unseen and extending the boundaries of human sensory experience, she creates work to encourage a sense of wonder in the everyday and an awareness of an entangled and interconnected universe.
She will be demonstrating her use of a cloud chamber, giving you the chance to experience the otherworld of subatomic particles. Dark matter might be inaccessible to us but cosmic particles offer a more tangible contact – although too small to see we can witness their effects through cloud chambers. In the chamber we see trails from naturally occurring background radiation as well as particles from outer space.
After the demonstration, hear more from Susan about her interdisciplinary artistic practice and explore CARBON: Under Pressure, a special exhibition hosted at the Mazumdar-Shaw Advanced Research Centre at the University of Glasgow in partnership with the Science Gallery Bengaluru.
