The experimental creative project, led by Nina Gonzalez-Park and Barney Hill, saw the artists and biologists, statisticians and geneticists immerse themselves in each other’s disciplines, find their synergies and collaboratively produce new artworks involving digital approaches. Artist-scientist collaborations were matched based on current research/practice, interests and personalities.
The subsequent exhibition and symposium, which took place on Tuesday 11th February 2025 in the Cheng Kar Shun Digital Hub, welcomed over 100 guests to view the outcomes of the collaboration, and hear from the artists and scientists involved.
