Speaker information
Dr Chiara Ambrosio, Teaching Fellow in the Philosophy of Science, 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?
