This project aims to investigate the importance of art–science collaboration in contemporary research. Developing an innovative method to evaluate aesthetic dynamics, the project seeks to examine how art–science generates new modes of transdisciplinary knowledge and unique forms of public engagement. In collaboration with partners in the museum and cultural sectors, it is planned that the method will be applied to two major case studies of art–science exhibitions in Australian and international venues. Findings are intended to inform strategies for cultural programming, to enable museums to support art–science exploration and to increase the engagement of new audiences with both art and scientific research. Through its network of partner organisations in the cultural sector, the project aims to establish Australia as a global leader in transdisciplinary research and cultural programming.Read moreRead less

Re-imaging the empirical: Statistical visualisation in art and science. This project aims to investigate how statistical images re-shape diverse knowledge domains and practices from facial recognition to medical diagnosis to video-tagging, and how arts-led visualisation changes statistical image conventions and techniques. The overlap of popular, scientific and aesthetic dimensions of visual culture with data analytical techniques is creating a new kind of statistical visual culture. However, th ....Re-imaging the empirical: Statistical visualisation in art and science. This project aims to investigate how statistical images re-shape diverse knowledge domains and practices from facial recognition to medical diagnosis to video-tagging, and how arts-led visualisation changes statistical image conventions and techniques. The overlap of popular, scientific and aesthetic dimensions of visual culture with data analytical techniques is creating a new kind of statistical visual culture.
