How do art, science and ecology help us understand the world? How does research unfold in the lab and in the studio?
In this conversation, artist Francis Carmody and scientist Dean Schrieke explore the shared languages, methodologies and systems that connect their disciplines. Through the phases of questioning, constructed logic, production and exhibition, they examine how the intersections between their practices might open up new pathways for understanding.
