An evening of invisibility, intangibility and unexpected properties
as artist Julie Freeman, nanotechnologist Jeremy Ramsden, and Pankaj
Vadgama, discuss the nanocosm and the extraordinary beings that
populate it.
Artists and scientists alike are fascinated by the extraordinary
world of nanotechnology. Join us for a journey through these concepts
with an artist and a scientist, and discuss the value and importance
of such collaborations.
Jeremy Ramsden will discuss the latest advances in nanotechnology
while artist Julie Freeman reveals how collaborating with Jeremy has
influenced her work NanoNovels - graphic artworks and stories
inspired by nanoparticles. Pankaj Vadgama completes the trio as he
describes how nanotechnology is revolutionising medicine.
John Hambley, who brought Julie and Jeremy together, will facilitate
and give an insight into the impact of artist residencies in non-arts
environments.
Is art a good way of enabling scientists to communicate their work?
Or can artistic ambiguity and metaphor compromise the communication
of scientific information?
If we want to separate fact from fiction, where does the truth lie?
Come along and join the discussions.
