INSIGHT OUT is an exhibition showcasing interdisciplinary collaboration across ANU, featuring 24 students from the ANU School of Art & Design who were each paired with academics across the University’s seven academic Colleges: Arts and Social Sciences; Asia and the Pacific; Business and Economics; Engineering and Computer Science; Health and Medicine; Law; and Science.
Each pair met at length to discuss the academic’s research and interests, and consider ways in which the most vital elements of the information could be conveyed to the general public. The artists were then asked to represent the research visually, in the form of a physical artwork. The resulting works traverse a range of disciplines, including painting, illustration, photography, and digital.
The research topics include memory and truth, heritage rock art, the regulation and governance of food policies, the mechanics of the human knee, blockchain, stillbirth, solar cells, archaeology, global health and infectious diseases, representations of youth by the media, communication in medical settings, and artificial intelligence.
The public exhibition is on display at the Kambri precinct public art space, Exhibition Avenue, from 8 March until 7 May 2021.
The INSIGHT OUT program was developed by LC Student Ambassador Jaz Matz in an effort to incorporate the LC creative arts and cultures into all fields of the University.
INSIGHT OUT is free and accessible to the general public 24 hours, seven days a week.
