DESCRIPTION:PREVIEW: Friday 26th January 2024 6.30-9.00pm.\nARTISTS IN CONV
 ERSATION at 7pm\nJoin the artists at Bridewell Gallery on the evening of F
 riday 26th January 2024 in conversation with artist scholar Catherine Morr
 is for discussion about their practice and the exhibition's wider contextu
 al picture.\n\n==\n\nTerra Ignota ('unknown land') at Bridewell Gallery sh
 ows experimental artworks by artists Margaret O’Brien and John Elcock. A
 lthough distinct\, the works are mutual in their exploration of intersecti
 ons between art\, bioenergy\, and contemporary digital technologies.\n\nMa
 rgaret’s work 'Resistance: West' is an ongoing work that develops a live
  experimental orchestra using a series of microbial fuel cells made from l
 ocal soil. A microbial fuel cell is an electrical circuit that harnesses e
 lectrons released by bacteria in soil through organic decomposition. This 
 work develops a series of musical instruments by translating the fluctuati
 ng electrical activity of bacteria in soil into sound. Its multi-cell cons
 truct produces a layered sound composition through nuances in note\, pitch
  or tone that each cell emits relative to the specific soil sample. Throug
 h its live and unpredictable nature\, the work explores parameters of fail
 ure in the pursuit of new discoveries.\n\nJohn's installation 'Geist' resp
 onds to the particular qualities of the Bridewell’s historic spaces and 
 seeks to enter a dialogue with Margaret’s artwork. John’s piece simila
 rly uses site-specific\, recovered earth to power a live artwork\; in this
  case the soil itself distilling something of its spirit of place to illum
 inate a ghostly light - powered by no extraneous sources. In doing so we a
 re invited to reflect on the latent qualities of time and place\, a remind
 er that what appears unseen is not always absent.
