Over the past year, up-and-coming artists from Central St Martins worked on an experimental creative project with scientists from the University of Oxford which aimed to push the boundaries of art and science.

---

The project, led by Nina Gonzalez-Park and Barney Hill, saw the artists and biologists, statisticians and geneticists immerse themselves in each other’s disciplines, find their synergies and collaboratively produce new artworks involving digital approaches. Artist-scientist collaborations were matched based on current research/practice, interests and personalities.

The subsequent exhibition and symposium, which took place on Tuesday 11th February 2025 in the Cheng Kar Shun Digital Hub, welcomed over 100 guests to view the outcomes of the collaboration, and hear from the artists and scientists involved.
