The focus of this symposium is the process of collaboration, its highlights and successes as well as its pitfalls, with a focus on methodologies that work (or not) in inter-, multi- and trans-disciplinary collaboration.
Symposium speakers are artists and scientists have an active awareness and interest in the nature of collaboration.
How did you get on the same page? Did you get on the same page? Did the collaborating artist and scientist learn from each other or was it more a case of billiard balls colliding and ricocheting on separate tangents? What process did you use to check in with each other, to ensure that you understood each other and where you were coming from? What makes a good collaboration? What makes collaboration fail?
The symposium starts with a private view of the sister exhibition, please see information below.
