About
This two-day symposium brings together scientists, artists, social scientists and policy-makers to explore scientific controversy from an interdisciplinary perspective. From esoteric arguments over the structure of the universe to highly charged public controversies around the use of stem cells, Eye of the Storm will touch on brilliance and ego, dissent and whistle-blowing, big science, high finance, deviant science, the reliability of knowledge and the legislation of uncertainty. Speakers include Sheila Jasanoff, Eduardo Kac, Roger Malina, Rod Dickinson and Oron Catts.Organised in collaboration with and supported by The Arts Catalyst in association with Leonardo/OLATS
