Synapse: enabling collaborations between artists and scientists since 2004

The Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT) is pleased to announce the successful recipients of the 2010 Synapse Residency program - a core element of the Synapse initiative of the Australia Council of the Arts and ANAT, which has enabled collaboration between artists and scientists since 2004.

The Synapse initiative supports creative partnerships between scientists and artists through the residency program, a database of international art/science collaborations, an archived discussion list and the Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage program, which supports longer-term partnerships between artists and scientists in academic research settings.

ANAT, in continuing its commitment to artistic innovation, is pleased to announce that five Australian artists have been awarded Synapse residencies for 2010:

Robin Fox + Bionic Ear Institute (Melbourne, Australia)
Chris Henschke + Australian Synchrotron (Melbourne, Australia)
Erica Seccombe + Department of Applied Mathematics, Australian National University (Canberra, Australia)
Meredith Walsh + Pier Luigi Luisi Synthetic Biology Laboratory (Rome, Italy)
Ken & Julia Yonetani + Sunrise 21 +The Murray-Darling Freshwater Research Centre (Mildura, Australia)

Andrew Donovan, Inter-Arts Director at the Australia Council for the Arts comments, '...Each of the Synapse residencies demonstrates an exciting and genuine collaboration between artists and scientists. They create awareness that artists can contribute to the building of new knowledge in disciplines well beyond those we'd normally associate with artistic practice'.
