The sound artworks featured here first appeared in the solo exhibition by Devon Ward titled 'Nerves in Patterns on a Screen.' 

This exhibition repurposed a tool of neuroscience called a microelectrode array (MEA) for artistic exploration. The sound art pieces featured here were created by manipulating digital recordings from living rat neurons cultured in a laboratory at the University of Western Australia. 

The overarching theme of this project was to investigate the epistemic limits of using data to fully understand neuronal tissue. The exhibition also included multi-channel videos,  digital displays, computer installations, an artbook and neuronal rat tissue. The artworks were created in fulfilment of the Masters of Biological Art degree with SymbioticA at the University of Western Australia.The exhibition was held at the Paper Mountain gallery in Perth throughout the month of July, 2014. 

Furchick aka Claire Pannell is a prolific Australian experimental sound maker working at the crossover between art and science. She creates her sounds using field recordings and live looping instrumentations, incorporating a DIY and punk attitude into her creations, focusing on polyrhythms and vocals. 
She has often taken her other sounds from the natural vibrations created by everyday objects from foley techniques, and at other times worked with more traditional instruments. Performing regularly, Pannell has an extensive catalogue of music making dating back to 1987.


She runs international net label Dog Park Records: dogparkrecords.bandcamp.com

She is also a science communicator with her specialist skills in hands-on STEAM maker and tinkering workshops that incorporate arts, technology and science.
