We keep hearing about brilliant projects that are bringing science and art together, happening in Bristol and elsewhere. We don’t have a great place to publicise them all, but perhaps this would be a thread that people with interesting projects can respond to.
And then who knows what collaborations might emerge…
Lisa Scantlebury is an artist and fabricator who exploits the creative possibilities of composites. Richard Trask is a composites engineer interested in building the next generation of aeroplanes and rockets. Both draw on natural structures and materials, but both want to see how much further synthetic materials can go.
From March 2011, Lisa is going to be ‘in residence’ in Richard’s composites engineering laboratory, talking to researchers and exploring her artistic practice in a new context. Lisa and Richard will be blogging here, under the category “Inspired Engineering”
Also don’t miss their free evening talk on Thursday 7 April, 6pm at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery.
It’s all very exciting – the Changing Perspectives site is fast developing and (in my humble opinion) looks great. Now what we need is for all the fantastic science-art projects across the University to contribute their work, online and in the upcoming exhibitions.
2 months to go and it’s looking good….
