Listening to Landscape: Tuning-in to the Ghosts of England Contemporary electronic and experimental musicians are using sound to summon landscapes, memories, and ghosts of a disappearing England.

In a nation full of bigotry, why should we engage with the work of musicians who are inspired by the English landscape? Is it possible to be critically nostalgic? kingsglobalaffairs.substack.com/p/listening-...

Algorave Code, Create, Dance, Repeat Join an electrifying evening where music meets mathematics, and creativity collides with code.

Another reminder: next Friday we're hosting an algorave at the Science Gallery London! It'll be a pretty chill one - softly lit, with a bar, and lots of sunlight - a pretty perfect way to see some of the best livecoders I know performing.

Spillover impacts in the publicly funded arts and culture sector The Centre for Economic and Business Research reported on the economic impact of Arts Council England investments.

Interesting to read this @artscouncilengland.bsky.social report on the spillover impacts of publicly funded arts. Great to see their value, which is oft claimed too difficult to quantify, articulated so clearly in terms of social and economic benefits www.artscouncil.org.uk/spillover-im...

1. As we face a series of great crises, every parent is confronted with the question of how much we tell our children. We don’t want to lie to them, but nor do we want to terrify them. Of course, there is no single answer. It depends in part on the child. But this thread suggests one approach. 🧵

Excellent provocation on the role of art and science in these challenging times...

Maybe the kids are alright after all. Really important nuance to the headlines - and who can blame young people for being frustrated when they see a burning world and nothing happening?

"much science in many societies is political and always has been"

Just renounced my @teamlabouruk.bsky.social membership over this. Absolutely awful. Thank you @rspb.bsky.social for speaking the truth!

👏👏👏"... it is the special power and privilege of the arts and humanities to be able to put humanity at the heart of science"

This is far more interesting imo. In a space awash with buzzwords, there's something refreshing about the local ecosystem social impact approach being proposed here.

Reading student applications for a role I have going - feeling humbled by these young people who have done so much volunteering, care so much about our planet and are doing so many creative things alongside their studies. A good tonic to the news atm. Let's find these sources of hope!

More optimistically, I have been working with colleagues at King's to explore how creative methods can support more hopeful conversations around climate adaptation. Creative practice isn't just a fluffy nice to have, but an important tool for preparing us for whatever brave new world lies ahead.

Collaboration, civility and complexity A time of rising darkness is a portentous phrase. But whilst the focus of 2024 has inevitably and rightly been on university financial sustainability, we have spent less time on another trend which…
