About

This unique Art in Science programme at Liverpool John Moores University provides exciting opportunities for artists and scientists to collaborate and explore the boundaries of art and science.

Visit programme website for more information

Overview

Art and science are often seen as two different entities with very separate ideas of what constitutes research. The MA Art in Science programme at Liverpool School of Art and Design aims to bring together artists and scientists to explore collaborative approaches in art and science.

Increasingly, collaborations between artists and scientists are a feature of our cultural landscape. Traditionally this relationship has been perceived as art in the service of science, whereby artists use their skills to visually interpret or communicate complex scientific ideas, objects or forms. However, a hybrid form of research has emerged over the last 30 years where artists and scientists are interested in the creative possibilities and speculative futures of the intersection of these two cultures.

The Art in Science programme at Liverpool John Moores University  provides opportunities for collaborations across the visual arts and the world of scientific enquiry, and encourages inter-multi-transdisciplinary creativity based on the skills that you bring with you to the programme and those you develop during your research experience. The programme fosters an inquisitive approach whereby the focus is on encounters with new practical skills and ideas to develop an art-science praxis at the cutting edge of making, research and collaborative practice.

Some have worked with national and international museums to engage the public with science in a range of contexts Additionally, graduates have worked as Medical Writers for the National Institutes of Health (USA), and as Production Coordinators for the Science Museum Group (National Science and Media Museum, Bradford). Others have gone on to work as Research Assistants for research institutions with roles that include scientific illustration, public health communications, and public engagement with science through comics and games (Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, and University of Liverpool).
