SPECTRA SYMPOSIUM 10-12 OCTOBER 2018 ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
Proposals are invited for papers for the 2018 Spectra symposium from artists, scientists, researchers and postgraduate students working in the field of art and science collaboration.
BACKGROUND
Spectra was originally instigated by artist, Mary Rosengren and CSIRO host partner, Cris Kennedy, following their 2011 Synapse art/ science residency. Supported by the Australian Network for Art & Technology (ANAT), Spectra 2012 was held at the CSIRO Discovery Centre in Canberra, and brought together some of Australia’s leading artists and scientists. Spectra is now re-visioned as Australia’s pre-eminent art/science gathering showcasing the best research and creative work being produced through interdisciplinary collaborations between artists and scientists across Australia.
Spectra 2018 is proudly presented by ANAT, with partners the University of South Australia and Experimenta Media Arts, in association with colleagues drawn from the arts and science sectors, and with generous additional support provided by Arts South Australia.
THEME
Collaboration between the arts and sciences has been seen to contribute to the creation of knowledge, ideas and processes beneficial across disciplines. Artists and scientists approach creativity, exploration and research in different ways and from different perspectives; when working together they open up new ways of seeing, experiencing and interpreting the world around us. Spectra explores this increasing convergence of art and science and considers how each area impacts the other and how, together, they shed light on who we are and where we’re heading. At the very heart of Spectra is our desire to showcase and celebrate the vanguard of Australian artists who continue to lead the world in experimental and interdisciplinary arts practice.
