Semiconductor are two UK artists, Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt. I find very interesting the mix between art, science and technology that this duo shows in his work. A great example of this is Magnetic Movie (2007), a desert laboratory where magnetic fields seems to come to life while a neutral woman voice tells us about the physical properties of these phenomena.

Semiconductor
1999-2007, Semiconductor, UK, ca. 60 min.
Semiconductor (Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt) have used digital technologies to create what The Wire calls "experimental meta-science fiction." Tonight's program surveys their career, including the giddily gorgeous glitch of A–Z OF NOISE (1999) and 200 NANOWEBBERS (2005), the elegant urbanscapes of THE SOUND OF MICROCLIMATES (2004), and an astonishing trip into the data archives of solar astronomy in BRILLIANT NOISE (2006), plus others. Various formats. (AB) Filmmakers Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt will be present for audience discussion.
