In partnership with QUAD and the University of Derby, Animate Projects presents a symposium to accompany the exhibition of Silent Signal, six new animations produced through collaborations between artists and scientists.

Taking Silent Signal as a departure point for a broader look at collaboration at the intersection of art, science and technology, the day will feature a keynote address by curator Hannah Redler, plus presentations from the Silent Signal artist/scientist collaborators, and panel discussions with those from the fields of both art and science including bioethicist Dr Silvia Camporesi, Kings’s College London, curator Dr Sarah Cook, University of Dundee, sociologist Dr Gill Haddow, University of Edinburgh and artists boredomresearch and Eric Schockmel.

The symposium will be followed by a drinks reception at QUAD and an opportunity to explore the exhibition.

Tickets: £50/£40 concessions, including lunch and refreshments. Discounts available for group bookings - please contact peterb@derbyquad.co.uk for details.
