087015/Z/08/Z: The Point of Perception

Project Summary:This project explores the area of ambiguity in perception, which is inherent in the artworks of Madeleine Boyd and fundamental to the research of neuroscientists Mark Lythgoe and Beau Lotto. The practice-based research nature of this project will provide a frame work for both artistic and scientific partners to develop their own work as well as producing work together. A series of scientifically driven events based around Boyd's sculptural environments will allow the collaborators to generate a genuinely interdisciplinary methodology. The series culminates with an exhibition, catalogue and discussion day, all aimed at reaching targeted audiences effectively.
