Mellissa Fisher is a London based artist whose background stems from an interest in the interrelationships between fine art, illustration and science. Her most recent works consist of a deep exploration of the connections between nature and the human body.
NanoArt is a new art discipline at the art-science-technology intersections. It features nanolandscapes (molecular and atomic landscapes which are natural structures of matter at molecular and atomic scales) and nanosculptures (structures created by scientists and artists by manipulating matter at molecular and atomic scales using chemical and physical processes). The work of Cris Orfescu, an artist and scientist, is a reflection of this technological movement.
Utilizing a dialectical approach in both his studio practice and research, the work of artist Jared Vaughan Davis often deals with topics ranging from epistemology, mythology, ancient and modern cosmology, and the science of ‘belief,’ to general art and science communication and promotion.
In 2010, bio-artist Sarah Craske stumbled upon a very early English translation of Ovid’s Metamorphoses in an East Kent junk shop. It dated from 1735, and in its nearly 300 years of existence it had passed from reader to reader, picking up layers of biological history (bacteria, viruses, skin cells). Uncovering the invisible from its pages, Metamorphoses in Art & Science develops shared ways of working in new & emerging fields, through the collaborative inter-relationships between the sciences, arts & humanities.
For nearly 10 years, Simon Park, an internationally recognised molecular microbiologist, has worked at the fertile intersection between art and science.
