19/03/2013 by Simon Westgate

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

02/02/2013 by Simon Westgate

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…
