Grade 11/12 Art - Day 63 "Art and Science, Session 2: Susan Aldworth"

"No Ghost in the Machine, Installation 1" by Susan Aldworth

Continuing our study of artists that blend science into their works, today we look at the work of Susan Aldworth.

You may recall in our initial discussion, we talked about "Susan Aldworth’s most recent exploration of human consciousness involves not only brain images, but also brain tissue. This was not done cavalierly: it was done with utmost care and in partnership with the Parkinson’s Brain Bank at Hammersmith Hospital. But, by using the tools of neuroscience as part of her pallet of media, Aldworth is able to provide an insight into ourselves that science itself cannot manage."
