For over four years the ResCen artists have been meeting in closed sessions to discuss the processes that form and inform their work.



 



This seminar is the second in the series for the academic year 2004/05.  In it, the ResCen artists will engage in conversation with Daniel Glaser, imaging neuroscientist based at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London.  Daniel is particularly interested in top-down influences on low-level visual processing. This is how experience, prejudice and expectation alter the way we see the world. In 2002 he was appointed ’Scientist in Residence’ at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London. He is interested in public engagement with science and finding novel ways for scientists to collaborate with non-scientists, particularly arts practitioners, and has been an invited speaker at conferences in Japan, New Zealand and Europe.



 



The ResCen artists represent decades of knowledge, skills, craft and experience.  Those attending will have an opportunity to participate, enhancing the debate by offering greater breadth of experience.

Head of ResCen - Centre for Research into Creation in the Performing Arts, School of Arts
