The University of Westminster’s Broad Vision project presents ‘Data, Truth & Beauty’, an exhibition exploring the integrity and aesthetics of information. Opening at GV Art gallery, London on 23 May, the exhibition and accompanying events bring together the works of an interdisciplinary group of art and science students engaged in collaborative experimentation and research.  Featured works include data bending and glitch art, bacterial portraiture and self-illuminating sculpture, studies on perception, and dream inducing installations – the result of what happens when a group of curious and questioning minds come together to explore new territories and ask ‘What if…?’

The Guardian Education ran a great article today about the Broad Vision art/science programme.

“Even as an observer, it is difficult to leave the laboratory. The excitement of the students is catching. I spend my last 20 minutes drawing a picture of a cat using bacteria as ink..” Will Coldwell

In print and online, plus a picture gallery  of work in progress. The results of the current experiments on the theme of ‘Data, Truth & Beauty’ will be shared at GV art gallery, 23-29 May 2013. Sign up to our newsletter for info and updates.

Broad Vision: Data, Truth & Beauty

by

January saw the launch of the third Broad Vision project, introducing a new group of students from the arts and sciences to the interdisciplinary learning and research programme. 20 new recruits join 10 continuing students and assistants, and 8 academics and artists, for an exploration of the this year’s theme: Data, Truth & Beauty.

The early taster sessions introducing each discipline bode well for creative exploration.

Interdisciplinary collaborative projects will develop in the coming months…
