When an intense laser interacts with a gas of atoms, high-order harmonics are generated. In the time domain, this radiation forms a train of extremely short light pulses, of the order of 100 attoseconds.

Post-Extractive Imaginaries is a public conversation series with Durham University’s Centre for Visual Arts and Culture, bringing leading artists and researchers together to explore the cultural, political and visual legacies of extractive modernity. It examines how visual culture engages with land, labour, technology and value, and how new imaginaries emerge through artistic and critical practice. The series is organised by Michael Crang, Rosalind Hayes and Laura Sillars.
