Seriously enjoyed the @britsciassoc.bsky.social award lecture by @tomhyatt.co.uk a couple of days ago! We were taken on a wonderful journey which brought James Clerk Maxwell to light, via the materialisation and dematerialisation of electromagnetic art. Can't wait to see what comes next! 👀

Over the last six years, I’ve been doing a PhD at @ljmuofficial.bsky.social at the interface between art and science, researching ‘Electromagnetic Art’: What is it? How might we make it? Why would we want to?
