Experiment 1 is a South London-based arts & science collective, specialising in large-scale sensory installations, which fuse sculpture, music, science and performance art.
Founded in 1999, Experiment 1's first exhibition at London's The Truman Brewery was funded by the British Association for the Advancement of Science, and explored the transient beauty of chaotic systems through a fusion of Art and Science, using randomised circuitry to 'drive' sensory sculptures and environments built by the team.
Today, Experiment continues with the core team of Lou Smith and Matthew Venn; and several additional team members comprising electronics engineers, musicians, DJs, sonic artists, visual artists and even a female bodybuilder! The team are committed to developing its original aims, increasing scope, accessibility and interactivity in its exhibitions and to the continuation of a program of novel collaborations between artists, scientists and musicians.
Our most recent exhibition was of The Gas Organ, a pyrophone that is
remote-controlled or able to play itself via Experiment 1's random circuitry.
