‘To step into a program like Broad Vision, students have to accept that it might not be the most direct route to PhD funding. They need to be prepared to work within an emergent and “chaordic” learning process. In return, Broad Vision provides an unpatronizing mentored space for students to go beyond their disciplinary silos.”

Future Bodies (Decellularisation)
Saturday 21 June, 1-5pm (adults and 11+)
Decellularisation is a process where organs are stripped back leaving only the structure, which could potentially be used as a scaffold for transplant organs. Join London DIY Biohack group ‘The Kitchen’, Dr Mark Clements and Broad Vision students, to learn how artists and scientists are using this new technique, observe a live decellularisation of a heart, and have a go at making artwork with strips of decellularised bacon, dyes and glitter. Let your imagination run wild with a totally new art medium and learn about this amazing biotechnology technique. Book HERE.

19 June, 7-9pm (drinks from 6.30pm)
If the world as we know it ended and the survivors had to start again, how could we salvage, sustain and reboot civilisation? Lewis Dartnell, author of The Knowledge: How to Rebuild Our World from Scratch, will take us on a journey of discovery: a chance for us to reconnect with the basic skills and knowledge that our lives and world depend upon.

Broad Vision ‘Future Human’ at GV art gallery, June 2014

23/04/2014 by Simon Westgate

The University of Westminster’s Broad Vision project presents an exhibition of imagined futures and possible human evolutions. Integrating art and science, Future Human plays with the possible, the probable and the implausible through a collection of interdisciplinary artworks, experiments and speculative designs – the result of what happens when a group of curious and questioning students ask ‘What if…?’
