ECA / Ed Neuro - A Collaboration Between Artists and Scientists at The University of Edinburgh

This Second Century Press publication records the ECA / Ed Neuro project where students at Edinburgh College of Art were invited to collaborate with scientists across Neuroscience at The University of Edinburgh. The students visited the labs and made work in response to their findings. After presenting proposals they were all asked to design a poster and these were shown at the Edinburgh Neuroscience Conference in March 2013. Five finalists were chosen to make work that was also exhibited at the conference. The book includes documentation of the whole project, from the initial meetings when students and scientists looked at one another's work in order to negotiate collaborative pairings to the conference day and was launched at 48hrs / Encounters at Inspace, The University of Edinburgh in May 2013.
