Early scientific ‘photographs of the invisible’ — from x-ray to photomicrography, motion studies to pictures of electrical charges — have had a profound effect on the development of modern and contemporary art. Bringing together world-renowned artists, curators and academics, and coinciding with the final days of Revelations: Experiments in Photography, this one-day symposium examines the importance of early scientific photography for the creative arts and the ways in which its meanings have shifted across time and space.
Speakers include:
- John Blakinger, Stanford University / National Gallery of Art, Washington DC
- Marta Braun, Ryerson University
- Ben Burbridge, University of Sussex / co-curator Revelations
- Ori Gersht, artist
- Marek Kukula, Royal Observatory Greenwich
- Corey Keller, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
- Sarah Pickering, artist
- Kelley Wilder, De Montfort University
Panels will be chaired by: Greg Hobson (National Media Museum / co-curator Revelations); David Alan Mellor (University of Sussex); and Sean O’Hagan (The Guardian).
Organised in collaboration with the Centre for the Visual, University of Sussex.
