INTELLIGENCE: Interdisciplinary Forum

For this year’s Interdisciplinary Forum, we convene to explore the multifaceted nature of intelligence. Inspired by the Potter’s current exhibition, A velvet ant, a flower and a bird, and curator Chus Martínez’s provocation to reimagine the term, the day unfolds around these three natural entities. Across the program, we will explore research ranging from what robotic beetles can teach us about magpies and how irises get their names, to the architecture of birds’ nests and how neurotechnology is reshaping our cognition and art.

Researchers and artists will bring their diverse expertise from disciplines including bioscience, cognitive neuroscience, curatorship, ecology and more.

Convened by Dr Kyla McFarlane, Academic Engagement Fellow and Isabella Hone-Saunders, Assistant Curator, Art Museums
