'Stutterer' by Thomson & Craighead - a new work for a LifeSpace exhibition. (360G-Wellcome-104703_Z_14_Z)
'Scales of Life' is the ambitious inaugural exhibition at LifeSpace, an Art Science Research Gallery within the newly created Centre for Translational and Interdisciplinary Research at the College of Life Sciences, University of Dundee. The creation of this new research-driven gallery space, curated as a collaborative partnership with researchers from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, enables an exciting opportunity for interdisciplinary art and science interactions. Scales of Lif e will reflect the key orders of biological organisation from molecules to cells to whole organisms. This mirrors the research expertise within the College, which encompasses biomedical, biological and chemical sciences, ranging from molecular structure and drug design to genetics and cellular control mechanisms of whole organisms. This project proposal requests support for the commission of artists Thomson & Craighead, in collaborative partnership with scientists at the University, to create a new installation, working title 'Stutterer', that utilises media technologies to reframe the way society perceives the visualisation of scientific data. The installation will exploit the human genome sequence as a molecular data source to produce a mutable artwork, delivering new observations on scientific visualisation. The commission, which reflects the molecular scale, will be the highlight of the Scales of Life exhibition that will celebrate the opening of the Centre by Sir Paul Nurse on the 1st October 2014.
