For the past few months, OPIGlets Gemma, Charlie and Alexi have been engaged in a collaboration between scientists from Oxford and artists connected to Central St Martins art college in London. This culminated in February with the publication of a zine detailing our work, and a final symposium where we presented our projects to the wider community.
This collaboration was led by organisers Barney Hill and Nina Gonzalez-Park and comprised a series of workshops in various locations across Oxford and London, where the focus was to discuss commonalities between contemporary artistic and scientific research and the concept of transdisciplinary work. Additionally, scientists and artists were paired up to explore shared interests, with the goal of creating a final piece to exhibit.
