Pattern Completion
06.07.12 IDEAS MATTER SPHERE, The Devereux, London WC2R, 7.00pm
"Hugo, Tom and Michaela will introduce the scientific and creative ideas behind their work and share some of their recent research and practice. Focusing on the conceptual and sensual aspects of the Pattern Completion project, they will discuss why recordings of pathways and forests were important, and how the materiality of the installation relates to the ephemeral and fleeting nature of memory. They will also expand on the neuropsychology of Pattern Completion, bringing this up-to-date with reference to recent research."

30.10.11 A S BYATT - THE FUTURE OF MEMORY, Wilkins Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre , UCL, London
"In recent years our understanding of memory has been significantly enhanced by scientific and technological developments. Writers and critics working in the arts and humanities are now turning to new ways of thinking provided by science; whilst scientists acknowledge the creative ideas offered by the arts and humanities. The Memory Network provides an imaginative intellectual response to this development by bringing together researchers, authors and organisations to provoke and fuel original ways of thinking about memory. To launch The Memory Network, A S Byatt ... will contemplate our understanding of memory through the lens of science, art and narrative."
Followed by a panel discussion with Charles Fernyhough, Hugo Spiers and Patricia Waugh | More information here
