ARTIST Matt Rowe
WHERE Barlow room, Eliot Cloister
WHEN Saturday & Sunday, 14:00-20:00

Artist Matt Rowe’s installation explores the eerie symbolism of friendly societies and codes that remain hidden in open sight. Rowe has created Pepper’s Ghost Pyramid, an illusion where unusual broadcasts of ectoplasmic colour and esoteric symbols manifest with a holographic display. His animated sequences are interlaced with recordings of the obscure ‘numbers stations’ that exist at the fringes of the shortwave radio spectrum. The transmissions recall lists of numbers and incomprehensible coded messages. These messages are read out by synthesised voices, alluding to events beyond the visible spectrum.
