MAT CLUM is taking the energy and ideas generated at Ideas-matter-sphere events to an even wider audience through his new organisation, Tickbird&Rhino, where talented, curious and creative folk meet up and get to know each other.

‘We gather together a unique mix of people who have good ideas and are keen to make a difference. We do it in all sorts of ways - from socials and salons to workshops and collaborations.  Then we grab the magic that happens when you get interesting people together and take it out into the world.  And we have a great time while we do it.  We're matchmaking for Creative Brains.’

CAROLINE LAMBARD has taken the salon discussions back to the studio and gallery, and is developing ideas in direct contact with the artwork - both her own installations and drawings and other artists' work - where the concept for ideas-matter-sphere first emerged.

HIGHLIGHTS

​A couple of fascinating creative responses by contributors

The lower image was created by robotics scientist Ed Johns in response to artist Alexandra Blum's drawing above, for the Spatial Perception and Visual Memory salon.  Ed's image is the transformation by a robot's visual system as it attempts to match it to images in its memory.

Created especially for A Matter of Substance exhibition and salon, materials physicist Martin Uhrin's Crystal App allowed users to create their own crystal structures. Click on the image to read more about it.
