In partnership with QUAD and the University of Derby, Animate Projects presents the Silent Signal Symposium to accompany the exhibition of Silent Signal, six new experimental animations produced through collaborations between artists and scientists.

Taking Silent Signal as a departure point for a broader look at collaboration at the intersection of art, science and technology, the day will feature a keynote address by curator Hannah Redler, plus presentations from the Silent Signal artist/scientist collaborators, and panel discussions with those from the fields of both art and science including bioethicist Dr Silvia Camporesi, Kings’s College London, curator Dr Sarah Cook, University of Dundee, sociologist Dr Gill Haddow, University of Edinburgh and artists boredomresearch and Eric Schockmel.
