A humblebrag on the amazing work that I've been a part of: 93% Human
Whether it’s just me or a trait of most scientists, I get super excited by working with new people who work in an area of science which is outside my area of expertise. I have generally had a major issue saying “no” to people, so as a consequence I have been involved with all sorts of weird and wonderful projects, some of which has been successful and others which have not. Regardless of the success of the project, I always retain the amazing connections to my collaborators on each project, as well as the skills that I learnt along the way.
One particular “out-of-left-field” type project that I’ve been a part of has been a collaboration with a talented artist called Helen Pynor. We initially started working together for an Art/Science residency at the South Australian Health & Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) in 2019, which was generoursly funded by Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT). The work that came out of the project, called ‘93% Human’, has been enormously successful and been shown in Art Galleries and Exhibitions across the world, including Brisbane, Dubbo, Karlsruhe (Germany) and Stockholm (Sweden).
