GV Art have form when it comes to art/science collaborations. The north London gallery, curated by Robert Devčić, frequently hosts artists who are strongly influenced by advances in medicine and biotechnology. Their latest exhibition Art & Science is the most explicit exploration of these themes yet. Pics and discussion after the jump. Devčić has been particularly audacious in setting the tone of the show. The press release certainly sets an ambitiously wide scope: These days the term ‘art and science’ is on everyone’s lips…

This week has seen the publishing of a fairly major breakthrough in the field of man/machine interfacing. The epidermal electronic system (EES) developed by researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (and numerous other institutions) have developed a technique which allows the transfer of circuitry onto human skin using techniques identical to that of a temporary tattoo. This gives me the rare excuse to write some proper science. The task of integrating circuitry with…
