Together with a team from Psychology, Creative Industries, Engineering and Architecture, Dr Michelle Kelly is curating an Art/Science exhibition to be held at Watt Space in June 2019, called 'Brain'.
Our vision for the exhibit is to enable real engagement between the University and the general public and showcase the wonderful Brain research being conducted by UON researchers and students. It is also an opportunity for students to practice science communication skills under a Work Integrated Learning platform.
We are welcoming submissions from UON staff and students for one of the exhibits. This exhibit will include a number of artistic brain images (cellular to whole brain level) as well as artistic images of the equipment that UON researchers use to examine the brain. The goal is to communicate the science we do in a way that the general public can enjoy and appreciate.
Images will be displayed traditionally, printed, framed and wall hung, however, should we receive a large number of submissions we will also have a digital display. If you conduct research on the brain, we’d love to see what you do!
Students and staff are eligible to submit their images. A $100 gift voucher will be awarded to the best submission (public vote).
To submit, send the following to Michelle.Kelly@newcastle.edu.au
a) A digital copy of your image of quality that
can be enhanced in size for printing (we will organise and cover costs for
printing/framing)
b) A short (less than 80 words) description of
your image in layman terms, e.g., what it is, how you get that image, and what
you are using it for.
c) Please indicate also
whether you are staff or a student.
We have attached an exceptional example by Dr Stuart Marlin (who is also a professional photographer).
DUE DATE FOR SUBMISSIONS is APRIL 10, 2019.
Submitting an image implies agreement with a statement of Copyright you can request via email from from Michelle Kelly .
