The Arts Catalyst

The Arts Catalyst's mission is to extend, promote and activate a fundamental shift in the dialogue between art and science and its perception by the public.

For over 10 years, Arts Catalyst has worked nationally and internationally, facilitating collaborative art/science projects, expanding new territories for artistic practice and setting up multidisciplinary research laboratories. Particular current concerns focus on artists' engagement (practical, artistic, political) with biotechnology, ecology, space research, micro- and hyper- gravity research, astrophysics, biodynamics, and remote independent research in science, art and tactical media.

Events and exhibitions are presented to the public in a range of arts, science and public venues, reaching a wide audience. Education and critical debate programmes focus on the role of contemporary art in examining issues and developments that modern science presents.
