Successful Wellcome Trust Arts funding for 'Exploring the Invisible' Bioluminescent project

Dr Park, Senior Lecturer in Molecular Biology, University of Surrey, and Dr Caterina Albano, Research fellow and Curator for ArtAkt, The Innovation Centre, Central St Martins and I will be collaborating in researching the bacterial communication and light producing properties of P. phosphoreum outside of the usual confines of purely practical scientific practice and developing a body of work based on less traditionally scientific quantifiable attributes; an alternative data collection based on subjectivity, emotion, playfulness and instinctive human enquiry.
