Art Displays

Science parallels art in many ways, not just as a subject matter but also as a source of inspiration. Here at Science World, we are proud to work with local artists who are interested in and inspired by science. Our art displays showcase different works of art within our false creek facility. Recent displays have included art work by Peter Holmes, Sharon Kallis, Chris Waind and a group of art students from Emily Carr University. We also host an annual display of the Nikon Small World Photomicrography Contest winners.

Quantum Entanglements
a collaboration between Emily Carr University and TRIUMF

Explore these works of art—the final projects of Emily Carr students that completed an interdisciplinary studio course that uses science as a starting point to raise issues about the modern world and the invisible forces of the known universe. Students investigated and experimented with the idea of the 'transformation' that arises from being inspired by science, especially physics phenomena. They investigate the subject of 'science narrative' as it is contextualized in human experience; the abstract; the construction of knowledge; and uncertainty, entropy and chaos theory.

Each Emily Carr student participated in the Artist-in-Residence program at TRIUMF and studied the works of Brian Greene, Leonard Krauss, Lisa Randall, Janna Levin and Lee Smolin amongst other scientists, philosophers and cultural theorists.
