We were recently awarded funding to do two more Organised Atoms workshops by the Royal Society of Chemistry. The idea with this project is to ground digital technology back into the earth that it all comes from, by exploring the properties of semiconducting crystals in Cornish mine waste by playing with synthesiser circuits. After running the first workshop during the Flamm Festival, our next challenge is to try using the …

Update on progress on the Meadow Match project, aiming to make more wildflower meadows. Research and planning stages for how a system can be built to allow the project to scale nationally.
This post is all about our Flamm project we ran with Cornwall Neighbourhoods for Change. The ultimate aim of the project was to try looking at technology by starting with the soil.
As part of our contribution to the BlueAdapt project, we've written a mini handbook on how to develop decision support tools for climate and environmental purposes.
A research phase was required for Organised Atoms before planning our field trip and workshop, as a lot of the technology we are using is obsolete, and the information difficult to find.
Introducing our two selected Algorithmic Pattern residents, Anu Reddy and Geraldine Jones.
Work by Francesca Willow for their Social Microbes residency - a celebration of the complex networks and interactions between microbes and plants that happens beneath our feet.
The call is open for a paid two-week research residency as part of our Algorithmic Pattern project, submit your idea for contributing to this theme around heritage or contemporary patterning technology.
We're really excited to have received a Flamm commission for a brand new project that is all about grounded approaches to exploring technology.
Lots of data on different geographic areas in Great Britain, showing whether they are considered coastal or not. For anyone to use however they like.
Work by Hat Porter for their Social Microbes residency - a discussion of the body of research looking at the links between autism and gut microbiota.
Khipu are a central part of contemporary Andean culture, and we have to be aware of the political challenges and opportunities of working with them.
We'd love you to join us for Hat's final exhibition on gut microbes and autism research. The exhibition is free, 20-24 June at the Fish Factory in Penryn, with an open event 6-8pm on the 20 June.
Computer Science student Saachi Kaup has been awarded funding from the Haskell foundation to join us for the summer, writing open source software for representing Mandala patterns.
