How do artists working with physics-based technologies relate to or differ from scientists in their perspectives of physics? What happens in cross-disciplinary collaborations?
A free public symposium on Sunday 8 July at RMIT University in Melbourne will explore the worlds within the physical sciences and ask what it is like, how it relates to our social world, and how it affects us culturally and physically.
Chris Henschke, the Australian Synchrotron’s artist-in-residence and a lecturer in Media and Communication at RMIT University, will speak at the symposium along with key speakers from CERN, the Australian Network for Art & Technology, and other contemporary media and fine arts practitioners and theorists.
