Art for science's sake (1 Nov 2012)
from Lunch Hour Lectures - Autumn 2012 Hosted by UCL
Lunch Hour Lecture - Autumn 2012 Dr Chiara Ambrosio, UCL Department of Science and Technology Studies For centuries, scientists have sought help from artistic practice as a visual aid. This lecture will explore case studies from the 18th to the 21st century, to show that artists have often participated in the growth of scientific knowledge by disturbing and questioning concepts that scientists take for granted. Would current artist in residence programmes benefit from adopting a more sustained critical role, in light of this history? UCL is consistently ranked as one of the world's top universities. Across all disciplines our faculties are known for their research-intensive approaches, academic excellence and engagement with global challenges. This is the basis of our world-renowned degree programmes. Visit us at www.ucl.ac.uk.
