A unique work of art that shows what is happening miles beneath the Earth’s surface is being exhibited at Paisley museum.
‘Beneath and Beyond- seismic sounds’, an audio visual installation by the Glasgow based artist Stephen Hurrel uses real-time audio and visual displays of information being gathered by earthquake monitoring stations around the world.
Stephen said: ‘I’ve always had an interest in the relationship between nature and technology since I could watch submarines sail up and down the Clyde with a backdrop of stunning natural scenery from the home where in grew up, in Dunoon. The Beneath and Beyond exhibition is a perfect example of that. What people will see and hear is happening there and then deep down under the Earth’s surface. It’s displayed through sound and a video projection, using the technology in the seismic monitoring stations we are linked to in all the continents of the world. No one else is doing this in a live situation, so what people will see and hear visiting the exhibition is unique’
The free exhibition at Paisley Museum and Art Gallery, runs until Thursday April 15th.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
