Two Tunnels Greenway - Bathon 21 December 2011 by Aether - 1 commentWe have been invited and shortlisted to develop a preliminary proposal for a special lighting installation in Combe Down Tunnel , as part of Sustrans’ Two Tunnels Greenway - A walking and cycling path between Bath and Midford.
Here our response for creating an immersive and interactive environment, using LEDs lights to evoke an atmospheric sensation.  Bert Williams Leisure Centreon 21 December 2011 by Aether - 1 commentWe developed this proposal after being shortlisted for designing an installation for pedestrian area outside of Bert William Leisure Centre.
Using a custom designed control system, motion sensors and LED lights, we will detect people’s movements and will translate it in changing colour sequences and patterns, encouraging close encounters. People’s movement influences the art as the art simultaneously encourages and inspires them to move.

The Colour of Phion 16 March 2011 by Aether“The Colour of Phi”, a specially commissioned artwork using electro-luminescent wire by the artists Aether and Hemera will be on show at the DLI/Durham Art Gallery until 2 May 2011.
The work dissects 2 of the galleries with a series of 2 and 3-dimensional golden rectangles. The light chromatic spectrum used will be created with glass prisms. “Phi” is the Greek letter that is also used as the shorthand for the mathematical formula that defines the golden rectangle, which has been used by musicians, architects and artists, including Leonardo da Vinci, since at least the 16th century, although Phidias’ sculptures on the Acropolis appear to use the rule.
Aether and Hemera are two Italian artists based in Gateshead. They are named after the Greek god and goddess of bright upper air and daylight. They studied at the Politechno di Milano. They have been based in the North East for the last three years. They have exhibited as part of Odin’s Glow in 2009, at the Newcastle Gateshead “Enchanted Parks” projects in 2008 and 2009 and will be showing in “Roker by Night” from 24-26 March.
“The Colour of Phi” is supported by arts Council of England North East and is showing alongside an exhibition marking the 10thanniversary of the death of artist/curator Nerys Johnson at the DLI Museum/Durham Art Gallery from 19 March until 2 May.

Growing Foreston 20 September 2010 by Aether - AudioVideoInteraction - 3 comments22-31 October- The Shed, 348-354 High Street, Gateshead; Opening: 22 October, 6pm – 10pm Aether & Hemera projection visualize and reflect the growing state of the social relations and conversations in the Shed space. Each conversation is represented by a shrub, growing in real-time while individuals chat with one another; these will change in a shape, size and hue depending on the duration and volume of the conversation as perceived by different sensors and microphone. By the end of the exhibition the whole series of conversations will have generated an intricate and colourful forest still evolving as new spectators and guests interact in front of it. Not only will the Growing Forest be developed by dialogues, but by displaying a representation of conversations to the audience, will provide new items to discuss, resulting in a convoluted self-generating loop. The Growing Forest represents a narrative visualization of all discussions’ history. Read more...
