ASCUS. Well, what does that really mean?
ASCUS partially abbreviates Art Science Collaborative. An ascus also is an organ in lichen - itself a structure formed by a symbiosis of organisms from two very different kingdoms (fungi and plants), just as we are a symbiosis or artists and scientists. In lichen, the ascus is the place where spores are produced which then colonise new, barren areas of the world.
We are a voluntary organisation and network of people interested in the art science intersection. We are also a team of individuals with a passion for art, science, or both, who love to review, create and discover collaborations between art and science. These fields might seem a world apart but there always have been - and are now increasingly - loads of incredible artists and scientists who work together to produce truly ground-breaking work. We might even have a few projects of our own up our sleeve . . .
