On 3rd August 2007, as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Lovell radio telescope, Jodrell Bank Observatory hosts a unique event by Ansuman Biswas, who took part in iShed's Diffraction Placement at HP Labs Bangalore, and Jem Finer.
A specially commissioned musical composition featuring the telescope itself as a huge musical instrument, the piece is a remarkable collaboration between the two artists and musicians and radio astronomers at the University of Manchester's world-famous observatory.
Biswas and Finer have been working together since 2000 on a number of projects including magic flying carpets, zero gravity films and installations, and underwater sculptures and performances.
