The first of the banners is up - it's an introduction to the project with the blog site address

It has a slightly provocative text around belief, imagery from the first gif with a bookwork, students standing in learning collaborative mode within the clean room and a range of stills from the films of demonstrators engaging in communicating ideas. There will be more.

unfolding thinking

Artist Les Bicknell is in residence at Cambridge NanoTech DTC collaborating with PhD students and academics.

This blog documents the process and the work.

unfolding thinking seeks to extend our understanding between cutting edge science and contemporary art, specifically making connections between nanotechnology and the making of bookworks.

The project will embed an artist within the new Maxwell Centre in Cambridge University working within the labs and making space, engaging with research students to generate a body of new artwork informed by the engagement with nanotechnology.

A series of ongoing interventions within the space will generate creative discussion and enable new possibilities and ways of thinking mirroring the 'blue sky' thinking aims of the Nano Doctoral Training Centre (NanoDTC).

The project will recognise similarities, explore possible confluence and develop connections by researching and deconstructing the physical and theoretical concerns of scientists working in the nanotechnology field within the framework of an artist's practice and creative thinking. The project seeks to build links with the science community, develop audiences for the arts and promote the role of the arts in science, technology, engineering and maths.

Funded by Arts Council England, Maxwell Centre (NanoDTC) and supported by Norwich University of the Arts.
