WHAM-BAM-LECTURE-LECTURE
Information Speculation

15th March 2012, 8-9.30pm
Inspace, 1 Crichton Street, Edinburgh EH8 9AB


The Information Delivery Service proudly announces its first public lecture on the topic of Information Speculation.

Attempts are being made by each one of us to make some sense of the constant stream of social, audio, spatial, visual, local and global information in which we find ourselves precariously spinning. Each of us attempts to do so equipped with approximately 1.4kg of electrolysed grey matter. At this moment in time no method has yet been employed by the human race to absorb and funnel this data to a satisfactory level. 

The IDS is dedicated to developing it's own idiosyncratic concepts of communication and information, knowledge and expertise. They aim to then dissolve these structures and wallow somewhere in between imagination and anxiety and take pleasure in the inevitable impossibility of information delivery.

Please join us for a one-hour performative lecture on the subject of information itself.

Refreshments will be provided over conversation following the main event.

Intro/Looking At Things Only Bigger

Hard to get a sense of scale in the photographs but each image was projected using separate 35mm slide projector in the main lecture theatre. The biggest projection was the size of a medium sized cinema screen and the smallest approximately the size of a laptop screen. 

A pair of binoculars were available for optional viewing.

A bonsai tree projected at the size of a normal tree.

Scale is changed by the relationship between the projector and the wall.

Super-K

Super-Kamiokande neutrino observatory under Mount Kamioka in Japan.

"The observatory was designed to search for proton decay, study solar and atmospheric neutrinos, and keep watch for supernovas in the Milky Way Galaxy.
A neutrino interaction with the electrons or nuclei of water can produce a charged particle that moves faster than the speed of light in water. This creates a cone of light known as Cherenkov radiation, which is the optical equivalent to a sonic boom. The Cherenkov light is projected as a ring on the wall of the detector and recorded by the PMTs. Using the timing and charge information recorded by each PMT (photomultiplier tube), the interaction vertex, ring direction and flavor of the incoming neutrino is determined.
The ability of the Kamiokande experiment to observe the direction of electrons produced in solar neutrino interactions allowed experimenters to directly demonstrate for the first time that the sun was a source of neutrinos."
