Creative workshops – sound, vision and the senses in Art/Science Collaboration
Chris Rose, Interim Dean of Graduate Studies Division
Rhode Island School of Design
http://artsresearch.brighton.ac.uk/research/academic/rose
Chris Rose reflects on how art schools pay a lot of attention to the visual sense and asks what are the roles of the many others, especially relating to the construction of knowledge? By connecting art, design and science he supports practice-based research and curriculum design for creative practices. His interest in devising those spaces in which creative insights can occur has developed as an alternative to a ‘delivery’ model of teaching which has less relevance in the present environment. He managed the multi-material design program at the University of Brighton in England prior to RISD.

Visualizing The Research Process in Art and Design
Carole Gray, Research Professor
Gray’s School of Art, The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, Scotland
www.visualizingresearch.info
Carole Gray’s research seeks to develop and evaluate co-operative and discursive methodologies in visual arts research, including creative visual methods, and appropriate ‘artistic’ strategies of evaluation and dissemination. She is particularly interested in how this type of research can inform curriculum development in terms of cultural and contextual responsiveness and responsibility. Carol Gray is a practicing artist and has made exterior site-specific structures as well as smaller scale interior sculptural lights.

Kathy Takayama will discuss the process of scientist + artist coming together, from what may initially be perceived to be disparate disciplines or contexts but becomes a close and synergistic collaboration through the intersections of “habits of mind”. Her research explores how bacteria adapt to environmental stresses at the molecular level. In addition to her work in molecular biology, she has also engaged in research in visualizations and learning in the sciences, collaborative global online learning communities, inquiry-based e-learning and in arts-science collaborations.
