“Bioalloy and the Body Performance – Planes of (Non) Existence Gary Cass & Chandrasekaran

The main aim of the lecture is to artistically engage the scientific theory that the non-living begot the living. This theoretical and practical initiative, in the form of a short communication course, uses a pedagogical strategy that integrates with traditional teaching methodology to improve educational standards, embrace future possibilities and prepare future citizens. By applying ‘boundary spanners’ to bridge and re-align traditional academic boundaries this initiative will inspire new thoughts and endeavours through science and art communication strategies that embrace and incorporate science, mathematics, engineering and technology, with the humanities, arts and social sciences. It is an intensive course that encompasses and integrates disciplines within both the arts and the sciences and is specifically designed to encourage the cross-pollination of knowledge and creativity amongst various disciplines.
