GOING VIRAL \u2013 A SYNOPSIS
\n<\/strong>The British Society of Immunology is putting on an art-science collaborative exhibition entitled Going Viral<\/em> in Glasgow this September. \u00a0Going Viral<\/em> is an innovative art-science project. \u00a0It is the culmination of a collaborative programme of work undertaken by 6 artists and 4 immunologists. Through their joint exploration of key functions of our immune system \u2013 and the daily battles it fights \u2013 Going Viral<\/em> artists have produced artworks that consider, question, interpret and present the immunology they have researched.
\nGoing Viral<\/em> begins as an exhibition comprising stories, film, sculpture, images and music. The experiences and encounters of those who visit it will spread, virus-like, across real and virtual networks and will continue to grow beyond the life of the exhibition.
\nSome examples of the art are:
\nArtist Trevor Cromie<\/strong> is focussing on a representation of the patient\u2019s progression through a life-threatening severe immune response (e.g. anaphylaxis), recovery and its aftermath \u2013 and how immunology has made survival possible. \u00a0His focus is on the \u2018emotional\u2019 impact caused by anaphylaxis.
\nJo Hodges<\/strong> is working with a participant group of organ donor recipients to identify an object that they associate with their transplant and take fragments from these objects and image them using scientific techniques and then represent them as artworks. Further to this she will also be exploring the patient\u2019s relationship to immunosuppressant drugs.
\nJacqueline Donachie<\/strong> is working with a long term MS patient to explore the prevalence of MS in Scotland, evidence of the impact of sunlight deprivation and family history on the individual\u2019s condition.
\nHugh Watt<\/strong> is focussing on the instruments of science, and has developed film and sculpture to explore the unity between science, creativity and the everyday.
\nPete Baynes<\/strong> has created a dialogue between the artists and scientists, and has written several songs about things immunological, written to inform, entertain, and open up the world of the immune system.
\nArchitect Ewan Imrie<\/strong> has created a \u2018host body\u2019 within which to stage the exhibition.
\nGoing Viral<\/em> will be at the Glasgow Science Centre from 6th September \u2013 21st October 2012. It is funded by the British Society for Immunology <http:\/\/www.immunology.org\/<\/a><\/span>> <\/span> (www.immunology.org <http:\/\/www.immunology.org<\/a><\/span>> <\/span>), who commissioned Sound Strategies <http:\/\/www.sound-strategies.co.uk\/<\/a><\/span>> <\/span> (www.soundstrategies.com <http:\/\/www.soundstrategies.com<\/a><\/span>> <\/span>) to develop and implement the project.
