Articulated Imagination: When Art and Science Collide
Can science… be creative? And can art…. Be scientific? Join us today for a wonderful perambulation through the world of art, and science, on today’s episode of Thoughts That Bug Me! Today we’ll be revisiting the Australian national insect expo to interview a very special guest. Gerard Geer's artworks are equal parts whimsical and macabre, using a range of biological preservation processing and techniques. But how similar are these fabulous creations to what scientists do in the lab? We spoke to Eva Dimitriadis, Professor in Reproductive Biology at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Melbourne to find out.Artwork/script by Clarisse Sawyer, editing by Zofia Witkowski-Blake. This podcast was created on the unceded lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung, Boonwurrung and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung peoples.See Gerard's artworks here: gerard-geer.comOr on instagram @articulated_imagination
