Noisy Embryos
is a multi-channel, audio-visual installation that reflects on the
relationship between scientists
and the animals they observe by juxtaposing videos of snail embryos
generated under laboratory conditions with the 'messiness' of the
natural environment and of the process of data collection in the field.
It draws on interdisciplinary research carried out
by artists Deborah Robinson and David Strang and biologist Simon Rundle
during field trips at locations used by naturalist Carl Linnaeus and
film maker Andrei Tarkovsky on the Swedish island of Gotland.Cambridge Science Festival 2017:

Thursday 16 March, 6.30pm-8pm
This
interdisciplinary talk links the history of variation in embryology
(Nick Hopwood, Cambridge) to the current use of embryos as indicators
of climate change (Simon Rundle, Plymouth) to introduce how the
audio-visual exhibition
Noisy Embryos (Deborah Robinson and David Strang, Plymouth) responds to the uses of embryos in scientific research.
This talk will take place in room RUS110, in the Ruskin Building, no need to book, just turn up.
We look forward to seeing you at the Ruskin Gallery
