From 10-16 October, Somerset House’s Utopian Treasury will host a contemporary art installation ‘powered’ by live data from a naked mole-rat colony by Julie Freeman.
A Naked Mole-Rat Eutopia is part of UTOPIA 2016: A Year of Imagination and Possibility, Somerset House’s year-long celebration marking the 500th anniversary of the publication of Thomas More’s seminal book that imagined what an ideal society could be like.
Visitors will see:
• Abstract silicone sculptures which move, or dance, in an organic way in response to the real-time data from the NMR colony
• A screen-based audio visual artwork using live data
• A real-time data visualisation of the colony with access to educational information
• A number of street art-style animal drawing workshops for young people hosted by artist Sonia Blair (featuring live NMRs for participants to draw)
