Academics in the early learned institutions thought of themselves as scholars, rather than scientists or artists, with an open mind to new ideas from all fronts. It is now increasingly recognised that segregating professions and academics into rigid compartments can lead to the stifling of initiative and original ideas and there are many new initiatives being set up to try to break down these barriers. This talk is primarily about two such projects; the COAST and SOUND exhibitions but more generally about the way in which artistic and scientific ideas can move forward together. Clive Greated is Professor Emeritus in the School of Physics at The University of Edinburgh and Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Both his teaching and research have strong links with the arts, notably through his two books on musical acoustics but also through his recent work on colour and his contributions to public outreach exhibitions. Marianne Greated is an artist based in Glasgow. She has exhibited throughout Scotland and internationally since graduating from Glasgow School of Art in 1998. Since 1999 Greated has been Artist in Residence in Golfhill Primary, Dennistoun and was co-director/curator of artist-run, moving gallery space, Switchspace and co-curated the finale event of Machinista Festival 2004. She has worked on collaborative science and art projects since 2001 and to further her work in this field has begun a practice/theory based PhD jointly between Edinburgh College of Art and The University of Edinburgh. 7pm - 9pm Wednesday 25 January CCA, 350 Sauchiehall Street Glasgow Free entry but space is limited, please book in advance by emailing [log in to unmask] with your details if you can come early, you are very welcome to join us for a drink from 6.OOpm New Media Scotland: supporting & initiating experimentation in arts & technology http://www.mediascot.org A registered charity core funded by the Scottish Arts Council ********************************************************************** 1.
