As we run up to the Northern Art and Science Network Symposium in Leeds tomorrow (Saturday March 19th) let me point interested parties to an exhibition in York that runs until March 31st.
Sphere of Accuracies Zone of Truth is at York's Bar Lane Studios and includes cibachromes and prints by Tracey Holland, complex drawing by Greg Bright, intricate (and expensive) glass models of microbes by Luke Jerram and pop-art style prints derived from physics by Frederique Swist.
My reaction to the show was that it was much more rewarding than Visceral (see previous post), worked better as art and if you wanted to get into the science, there was plenty of that.

On Wednesday, as part of York Science Week Professor Gary Peters who co- curated the show (with Frederique Swist) and is a Professor at York St John, talked about the difficulties of of the art/science debate and the sterlity of much of the argument. He suggests that instead of trying to represent or explain science through art, we should be looking for the common impulse that underlies the desire to explore both. For an idea of where his work is heading, try this
