Sequence Compilation, Digital Print

Jo Berry is an artist, lecturer and PhD candidate and works nationally and internationally as an artist and academic collaborating with a range of Microscopy and Advanced Imaging specialists within the field of life science. Through her work she communicates and disseminates complex ideas based on scientific data visualisation. Her current research and focus is to provide a philosophical and visual reflection on science, both through the lens of the artist as well as by working directly and in close relationship with scientists in their practice and field of knowledge.

Sequence Compilation and other works, part of Berry's PhD research, have their roots in a collaboration of over ten years with the School of Life Sciences, Nottingham University and their project Advanced Imaging and Microscopy. In this work Berry explores the philosophical engagement with science through her arts practice and examines scientific data for its potential towards alternative expressions. Working directly with experts in the field of Cellular Biology it allows the emergence of a changed interpretation and application of scientific work. Current Collaborations are with the Centre for Cellular Imaging (CCI) Sahlgrenska Academy Gothenburg University, Chalmers University and the Biofilms, Research Centre for Bio-interfaces, Malmo University; Core Research Laboratories Imaging and Analysis Centre, Natural History Museum (NHM), London and COMPARE, a partnership with The Cell Signalling and Pharmacology Group, University of Nottingham and Cardio Vascular Sciences, Medical and Dental Schools, Birmingham University.
