Semiconductor is the alias of Brighton-based duo Ruth Jarman and Joseph Gerhardt, who since 1999 have been making stunning, cutting-edge digital artworks in the form of sound-films, music videos and live animation. Guided by their obsessive interests in landscape, architecture, geology, geography, chaos/systems theory and artificial intelligence, they explore the varied processes of digital animation and the computer’s potential to unite sound and image. This DVD offers a comprehensive overview of their work over the past five years, featuring 3 music videos (including those for múm and QT?), 4 live cinema pieces, and 6 short films. With a career trajectory straddling the worlds of high art (gallery installations including Venice Biennale, Prague Contemporary Arts Festival, and at the ICA in London), music (videos for Dat Politics, Aco, and FatCat artists múm and QT?, video for a Warp Records compilation, and usage in an MTV campaign), and science (a recent artist residence at NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratory in Berkeley, CA), Semiconductor are a uniquely appropriate subject for FatCat’s first foray into the world of DVD. “Brilliant Noise,” one product of Semiconductor’s time with NASA, is a film made from footage of the sun’s surface, comes with 11 audio interpretations by musicians including Max Richter, Cristian Vogel, Ensemble, Twilight Sad, Disinformation, Antenna Farm, and more.
