Details
InterCellular is a interdisciplinary platform to engage students and staff in collaborations by encouraging and promoting new pathways for future learning and curriculum in the 21C. The driving forces include Aboriginal astronomy as a creative impetus, and the exploration of cellular imagery as a form of technological and human interpretation of the world we live in and the fabric of the bodies we inhabit.
A major breakthrough for this project is the intrinsic collaboration with the Sydney Medical School and CPC involving medical science students from the very onset of the creative process. Medical Science provided cellular imagery that were interpreted by students from Design in the Faculty of Architecture.
InterCellular created 20 short films for Vivid Festival, the films were produced by Design Computing Students from the Faculty of Architecture, and Eora Tafe, the sound by students from the Conservatorium of Music, and the images will be provided by students from the Medical Science Faculty. The projects conceptual basis bridges the universal idea of light, during the 2015 International Year of Light, the sharing of Aboriginal astronomy as a creative impetus, and the exploration of cellular imagery.
