Reasoned Uncertainties Kathryn Ashill, Karen Ingham, Eilish O’Donohoe, Fern Thomas, Phil Thomas, Sarah Tierney, Craig Wood (2008)
An exhibition of collaborative artworks made in partnership with the Science, Art & Technology Network (SATnet) at Swansea Metropolitan University and funded by the Welsh Assembly Knowledge Exploitation Fund. SATnet promotes interdisciplinary collaboration between the usually distinct disciplines of fine, conceptual and applied arts, traditional and emerging technologies, and the physical and biological sciences and engineering. Knowledge transfer is facilitated between and across science, technology, the creative industry sector and small to medium enterprises, together with practicing artists, academics and Higher Education Institutions. It provides a forum for creative exchange and promotes ingenuity through innovation form research to production. The project philosophy is that of ‘reasoned uncertainty’.
At first glance reason and uncertainty may seem contradictory, but a reasoned and sustainable approach to experimentation and risk-taking is the best route to genuine interdisciplinary collaboration, innovation and knowledge exchange. Karen Ingham, Curator
