Phainomenon
An Early Stage Collaborative Project Exploring Environmental Impacts.
In 1894 the physicist Charles Wilson witnessed a Brocken Spectre on a descent from the Ben Nevis Observatory. This meeting (of his projected shadow) led him to try and reproduce the phenomenon in the laboratory and ultimately he invented the cloud chamber, one of the most important tools used in atomic physics research and for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1927. This collaboration looks to explore this creative experimentation based on responses to natural phenomena and climate impacts.
