For Dust Thou Art 1<\/h1>\n

The paper will explore the use of Atomic Force Microscopy for uncovering lost tales and histories through subtle audience interaction. The focus is the\u00a0Spectre2<\/sup> (Phillips, M. 2012)<\/em> project that builds on a portfolio of data driven work and \u2018nano\u2019 art developed by the author and collaborators.These projects explore the ubiquity of data streamed from an instrumentalised world and its potential as a material for manifesting things that lie outside of the normal frames of reference \u2013 things so far away, so close, so massive, so small and so ad infinitum.<\/p>\n

Spectre<\/em> suggested that the Schauraum gallery in the Museum Quartier of Vienna is a \u2018psychometric\u2019 architecture and that the memories of the building are bonded to its fabric by the atomic forces that were unlocked by the Atomic Force Microscope. Psychometry, \u201cThe concept of objects (or places) seeming to record events and then play them back for sensitive people is generally referred to as psychometry. The objects can be called psychometric objects or token objects\u201d3<\/sup> (Morris, R. 1986).<\/p>\n

Spectre<\/em> draws on the experiences of Professor Gustav Adolf Schwaiger, the Technical Director of the Austrian Broadcast Corporation, and his collaboration with famous medium Rudi Schneider in the late 1930\u2019s to the early 1940\u2019s.\u00a0Spectre<\/em> extends Schwaiger\u2019s ectoplasmic experiments by broadcasting live feeds from the space of the Schauraum and simultaneously replaying the physical remnants of these happenings as captured in the atomic forces binding the dust from their laboratory.<\/p>\n

Through their presence visitors could literally \u2018see the world in a grain of sand\u2019.4<\/sup><\/p>\n

Mike Phillips <\/strong>is Professor of Interdisciplinary Arts at Plymouth University. He is the Director of Research at i-DAT (i-dat.org), an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation. His R&D orbits digital architectures and transmedia publishing, and is manifest in a series of \u2018Operating Systems\u2019 (www.op-sy.com) that dynamically manifest \u2018data\u2019 as experience to enhance perspectives on a complex world. Phillips has developed an international portfolio of data driven work and \u2018nano\u2019 art projects that explore the ubiquity of data streamed from an instrumentalised world and its potential as a material for manifesting things that lie outside of the normal frames of reference \u2013 things so far away, so close, so massive, so small and so ad infinitum. He manages the FulDome Immersive Vision Theatre (IVT), a transdisciplinary instrument for the manifestation of material, immaterial and imaginary worlds and is co-editor of Ubiquity, The Journal of Pervasive Media:www.ubiquityjournal.net\/<\/a><\/p>\n
