As well as illustrated articles and interviews, the magazine will include ‘visual’ and ‘sound’ articles.
‘Knowledge Works’ uses analog as well as digital processes: painted surfaces, historic books’ title pages, scattered and appropriated imagery, scanned and layered and interwoven via digital tooling to create small to very large prints on paper. The pages are found in science, philosophy, and science-vs-religion books from the 17th to early 20th centuries, probing that epoch’s history of revolutionary change in human thought and knowledge.
Steve Giovinco is a New York-based photographer and a Yale MFA graduate. His night photographs at the edge of inhabited places trace evidence of epic but subtle change. Informed by the environment, history, and culture, his most recent work documents the extremely remote arctic Greenland with the goal of visualizing transformation since climate-related statistics can be difficult to grasp. His work is held in numerous public collections, including the Brooklyn Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the California Museum of Photography.
Chris Wood is a UK based artist with a career spanning over 25 years. Known for her signature light-responsive artworks and transformative installations, Wood has garnered global acclaim, culminating in the establishment of the Chris Wood Light Studio , est. 2015.
Wood’s creative practice utilises optical materials to harness light and suggest ephemeral glimpsed moments in the natural world. Her meticulous pattern work and mathematical arrangements order the accidental and transform light into spectacular displays of vibrant colour.
Lia Pas is a multidisciplinary artist who works in image, text, and sound exploring body and states of being. She was an active composer/performer and poet/librettist until 2015 when she became disabled with ME/CFS. Since then her work has focused on fibre arts and writing with some small forays back into music. Her symptomatology and anatomy embroideries have been featured in numerous online publications and are part of the SK Arts permanent collection.
Fulcrum Arts is pleased to present Sam Shoemaker: Mushroom Boat, a collection of works developed in relation to the artist’s August 2025 crossing of the Catalina Channel in a kayak made of mushroom mycelium. The exhibition’s central feature is the mushroom boat itself, which was built by the artist and stands amid the artifacts of its development, including extensive documentation of its fabrication, testing, and eventual use on open water.
Artist and writer, Richard Bright, has addressed the relationship between art, science and consciousness for over 40 years. He studied Fine Art and Physics before founding The Interalia Centre in 1990. Since then, he has lectured extensively on art and science and written articles on James Turrell, Andy Goldsworthy and Susan Derges, among others. He has exhibited both nationally and internationally and was the recipient of the ‘Visions of Science’ Award, The Edge, Andrew Brownsward Gallery, University of Bath (Second Prize Winner). Co-author of ‘The Art of Science’ (Welbeck Publishers, 2021). In ‘We Contain Multitudes’ he shows some his recent work.
This paper investigates the interplay of chaos and order in evolutionary biology, cell biology and the visual arts. It argues that creativity in both natural and artistic systems arises from a productive tension between these two principles. The study introduces a collaborative art project in which a robotic drawing machine and a human painter co-created works, embodying order and chaos respectively. By drawing parallels between mutation and repair in biology, dynamic processes in physics, and compositional strategies in art, the paper highlights chaos and order as universal design elements across disciplines.
‘Perceiving Reality: The Enthalpy of Existence’ traces a decade long investigation by British artist Alexander James Hamilton into the behaviour of light, matter, and perception as thermodynamic systems. Spanning the Siberian projects ‘Oil + Water’ (2013–2016) and ‘Empirical Research & Evidence’ (2021–2023), the work unites scientific observation with aesthetic consciousness. Through analogue photography and sustainable material practice, Hamilton visualises entropy, equilibrium, and environmental change as intertwined conditions. The resulting corpus proposes that perception itself functions as empirical instrument: a form of energy exchange in which to observe is to participate in creation.
NastPlas are an international artistic duo formed by Fran R. Learte and Natalia Molinos.
“We explore the relationship between humans and the natural environment by merging advanced technology with handcrafted processes. Combining digital tools such as artificial intelligence and 3D modeling with traditional techniques like ceramics, we create hybrid pieces that bridge the digital and physical worlds.”
Sohrab Crews’ experience of a range of different geographical and cultural contexts has had a strong bearing on his work, as has his significant interest in post-war European avant-garde art, American painting and sculpture, and mixed-media practices of all kinds. His own work manifests the recurrent themes of order and control, structure, colour and expressive intensity, notably through his ongoing experimentation with a wide range of ideas, mediums and techniques.
