Talk by Daniel Glaser 7.30 pm at the Lighthouse Media Centre, Brighton.

Daniel Glaser, Imaging Neuroscientist at UCL, was Scientist in Residence at the Institute of Contemporary Arts when he came to Blip and gave a talk entitled What can scientists gain from collaborations with artists? This is the abstract for his talk:

Six months into the residency I have started to put together some ideas about how artistic skills and knowledge can feed back into the scientific process. This is of interest since conventional views of sci-art collaborations tend to emphasize what the artists have to learn.

I will illustrate these ideas with examples from a recent project involving performing arts students and artificial life researchers, and preview a combined exhibition and experiment on the perception of images
of catastrophe which is planned for the ICA later in 2002.
