Semiconductor make art works which reveal our physical world in flux; cities
in motion, shifting landscapes and systems in chaos. As forces of nature
come into play on our surroundings, we witness events unfolding over
thousands of years well beyond our lifespan, or outside the limits of human
perception.

Since 1999 UK artists Ruth Jarman and Joseph Gerhardt have been exploring
many processes of digital animation to produce moving image works and live
animation performances.  Central to these works is the role of sound, which
becomes synonymous with the image, as it creates, controls and deciphers it;
exploring resonance, through the natural order of things.  Finely crafted
digital work is combined with analogue processes that tailor the randomness
and errors within computer systems as co-conspirator.

Semiconductor have recently returned home to Brighton, after completing a series of fellowships at: The NASA Space Sciences Laboratories (UC Berkeley, California USA), Berwick Gymnasium Fellowship (Berwick-Upon-Tweed, UK) and Couvent des Récollets (Paris, France).  Past and future exhibitions include: Venice Biennale, Prague Contemporary Art Festival, ICA London, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Careof Gallery in Milan, EMAF Osnabruck and Beaconsfield Gallery London.

Semiconductor are currently working on an Animate! commission and will release a new DVD, Worlds in Flux, with Fat Cat Records early 2007.
