INTERVIEWS WITH SCIENCE PEOPLE

1) What have you been doing over the past week?
2) What have you enjoyed most?
3) Do you like working in a community?
4) Write down one thought or quote to document

Laura Daniel
1) I’ve been working with the science project, trying to understand ways of interpreting scientific processes in an artistic way. Learning about the science and art community and the kind of work they do.

2) Thinking about science with artist Rachel Chapman and exploring ways you can think about complicated scientific information. For example, something as simple as a marble run or a game of hide and seek could explain something scientific and complicated.

3) It’s interesting to feel part of a group of similar minded people who all work with similar issues. It feels like there are people to support you with how you’re thinking.

4) Science and art aren’t as different as you’d think!

Jon Kiefert
1) We’ve been doing the science project- I’ve been making a giant marble run to represent the journey of haemoglobin through the body. We found the average time it took for a marble (ball bearing) to travel through the run and drew diagrams of it. We also filmed it and made a video.

2) I enjoyed building the marble run the most and watching it grow.

3) I quite like working in a community on some tasks, but for others I would prefer to work on my own or with a smaller group of people.

4) Science, what is it?

David Atkinson
1) We’ve been trying to make some sense out of science talk, which is hard work. Visualising the structure and movement of protein strands with a string of balloons and representing the journey of haemoglobin through the body with a marble run.

2) The marble run was really fun using whatever we could find to make jumps, ramps and loop the loops, with a hell of a lot of gaffer tape- it’s very scientific.

3) Working in a Community means you get a variety of ideas and opinions mixing together.

4) Lets all just get along.
