Unweaving the Rainbow

Sunday 17 October 2004 21:30-22:15 (Radio 3)

Kodwo Eshun investigates the growing field of sci-art collaborations, talking to funding bodies, scientists, artists and collaborators, examining the theory and practice behind this new frontier in arts practice.

The Arts Council has recently unveiled a raft of grants available to artists interested in working within scientific environments, in collaboration with scientific researchers. But CP Snow's 1959 definition of two isolated cultures suggests perhaps they are not the easiest bedfellows.
