A Virtual Symposium
Dates: Monday, March 5, 2007 – Tuesday, March 13, 2007

This international event created a virtual meeting space for experts from many disciplines to discuss the intersections between visual culture and the biosciences. Artists, scientists, historians, ethicists, curators, sociologists, and writers presented a variety of perspectives on topics of visual representation in art and science and its implications on culture and society. Suzanne Anker, visual artist and theorist, facilitated this online discussion. Please visit the National ACADEMIES website for more information on panel members.

This event was co sponsored by the Office of Exhibitions and Cultural Programs of the National Academy of Sciences and the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture. Additional support was provided by Ralph S. O’Conner and the Marian and Speros Martel Foundation.
