Seeing the Unthinkable at the Science Gallery London

LCN Researcher Dr James Millen has worked with artist Steven Claydon, to create Seeing the Unthinkable which is being exhibited at the Science Gallery London in the new exhibition Testing Ground. The work presents physics in unexpected ways, encouraging people to look at the world differently.

The project levitates nano-particles and micro-particles with electrical fields to see how they move. The project questions how randomness is exploited by nature through stimuli like noise, music and climate, exploring the possibility of intelligence arising from systems of objects that develop with and without human interference.

“This piece has made me reconsider which aspects of my own research are most important, and I’m excited to see how the public respond, which will further shape my views. I’m so happy that this beautiful exhibit will bring a sense of wonder to everyone who sees it.” – Dr James Millen

You can visit Testing Ground at the Science Gallery London, from Tuesday to Saturday 10.30am – 5.30pm.
