Write up, by Jo Keogh, of the Broad Vision interdisciplinary learning seminar held at University of Westminster on 20 November 2013.
“The exciting element of the Broad Vision project is that it allows artists and scientists to have a truly organic and original collaboration… The richness of the project stems from the continual conversation from start to finish and, from hearing the accounts of participating students, this has not only been inspiring and dynamic, it has been practice changing.”

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
