Experimenting

Sally Stenton 6 years ago

I counted my steps on the journey from art to science. Beginning in the Fine Art studio on the balcony of the Ruskin Gallery and stopping every 100 steps, my walk took me along the Forensic corridor, out into the cold, entering the new science building through the revolving doors and up to the psychology testing cubicles- another first floor balcony. 460 steps in total. I walked back counting to 230 to find the mid way point - the place where I imagined a portal or a permeable screen to step back and forth.

 

It might be fruitful to walk from science to art with a scientist and invite an artist to join us for the return walk. I might invite people to choose an object to carry from one place to the other, to place art in science and science in art, to mix them together and observe them coalesce or separate.
