*located across from the main campus at the Extended Learning Building This lab based at the University of Buffalo brings an art and science duo to campus. This program includes a talk about the dynamic history and future of art fused with science with bio-artist Paul Vanouse and scientist Solon Morse. A hands-on workshop will give students the opportunity to create art with biology and experimental imaging methods. Vanouse has been working in emerging media forms since 1990 and is the recipient of prestigious international awards. Co-helming the Coalesce Center for Biological Art and collaborating on several art science projects, Morse guides artists through genomics and analysis. The duo will share insights with the CSUSM community on fostering art and science in shared laboratory and creative spaces. Co-sponsor: Innovation Hub Follow on social media! Facebook + Instagram
