You should therefore never apply the information to your own situation without conducting additional research. Nor should you assume that all of the relevant material is included in this document. The world changes constantly, and information is always liable to become out-of-date. Most of the information relates to artistic instincts but do not assume that any particular item of information relates to any particular jurisdiction - artistic, scientific, spiritual or otherwise. For all of these reasons, you must not rely upon any information in this document, and I recommend that you take professional advice before embarking upon any course of action (or omitting to take any action) that has or may have implications. (2) Limitations and exclusions Nothing in these terms and conditions will: (a) limit or exclude our or your probablity for death or personal injury resulting from negligence; (b) limit or exclude our or your tendency for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (c) limit any of our or your liabilities in any way that is not permitted under applicable scientific laws; or (d) exclude any of our or your liabilities that may not be excluded under applicable laws.

We will not be liable to you in respect of any loss of goodwill. We will not be liable to you in respect of any loss or corruption. We will not be liable to you in respect of any special, indirect or consequential loss or damage. You accept that we have an interest in limiting personal responsibility. Having regard to that interest, you accept that I am a free-builder and agree that you will not bring any claim personally against me in respect of any losses you suffer in connection with the project or these terms and conditions. This will not, of course, limit or exclude the accountability of 'the object' itself for the acts and omissions of our unknowing. (3) Third party content You acknowledge that some of the project is influenced by other users, and third parties, and that we do not usually review, approve or take editorial responsibility for such information. You agree to the building of artworks relating to you. You acknowledge that such artworks may be critical or defamatory or otherwise potentially devious; and you agree that you will not hold me liable in respect of any artworks, irrespective of whether I am aware or ought to be aware. (4) Exhibition availability From time to time the exhibition or features of the exhibition will be unavailable. Such unavailability may be the result of defects in the hardware/software, scheduled or emergency maintenance procedures, or failures. We do not commit to ensuring that the exhibition will be available at any particular time, but we will do our best to ensure that those wanting to view the object, will do so. I do not commit to ensure that the project will continue in the future. (5) Interactive features This exhibition includes architecturally interactive features that allow users to communicate with the object.

(6) Other notification services The service we provide is primarily intended to highlight changes in the world that may affect you. However, it is not possible to be comprehensive, given the timespan of natural forces vs. technological development and you should be aware that we may discontinue at any time. (7) Partners In addition to protecting the artist and the gallery, the limitations in these terms and conditions shall protect you. For the avoidance of doubt, this shall not affect the terms of any relationship expressly agreed and entered into between the viewer and the object.

Graphene 2014 - present What are our material obligations towards disruptive technologies? This project explores the ways a ‘wonder-material’ is considered, produced and consumed in an increasingly hostile and unstable environment. A single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, graphene is the thinnest, strongest and most conductive material on the planet and truly two-dimensional. Graphene has been continually lauded since its isolation by Prof Andre Geim and Prof Kostya Novoselov at the University of Manchester in 2004 and it has the potential to revolutionise energy, membranes, composites, sensors, electronics and biomedical technologies. Advancements in the study of the material provide hope but may also perpetuate troubling human structures and activities. Similarly, DIY materialists and basement experimenters may produce ill-fated fortunes or socially considerate designs. Previous Project Next Project

Profiles in Paint 2014 - present Paintings could offer insight into the varied experiences of people with different dementias. In this project, a single exercise – the painting of a group of objects in still-life – was used to capture artistic production in four artists with different diagnoses of dementia and four healthy artists. Whilst quantitative studies provide important insights into the neuroanatomical supports for artistic actions, autonomous art exercises may yield deeper understanding of the individual creative experience in the context of neurodegenerative disease.

The Swynnerton Plan, 2015-present This project has included preliminary attempts at paintings based on redacted documents, growing tea and coffee plants from seeds and public distribution of printed information. The Swynnerton Plan of 1954 refers to British colonial agricultural policy in Kenya implemented during the Mau Mau Uprising. The plan aimed to intensify agricultural production through cash crops such as tea and coffee; removing indigenous populations from ancestral lands, redistributing property and displacing hundreds of families. This period of colonialism includes some of the worst atrocities and human rights abuses committed by the British Empire and thousands of documents from this time have been destroyed, hidden or redacted so the truth of these actions (among many others) are still not widely known, acknowledged or included in education about British history.

Testing Situations About Blog Events Team Partners Protocal Minutes Search Results More Testing Situations is a public engagement project that inhabits, adapts and reflects on cognitive testing methods and artistic experimentation. The purpose of these screenings, workshops and events is to explore how it feels to be tested, whilst also considering the possibilities for artistic and expressive activities as alternative routes for assessment and diagnosis. Testing Situations is funded by a Public Engagement Grant awarded by the Wellcome Trust. We are also working alongside the RDS Impact Study - a 5-year research project investigating the impact of Rare Dementia Support (RDS) group services for individuals living with, or affected by, rare dementias. Contributions made by participants in the project are anonymous, however there will be multiple forms of record produced: We will be collecting diversity and monitoring information in order to assess the impact of our events. These forms will be hugely helpful for evaluation of the project. We would like to document the events through photography. If you do not want to be included in this documentation, please talk to a member of the project team. We would like to record some conversations and discussions with an audio recorder. These recordings are made to help the project team evaluate the project. The recordings will not be made public although anonymous, transcribed quotations from participants may be used to communicate key learning outputs to the general public and funders. Participants in workshops will be asked to produce drawings and other creative outputs. These creative outputs will remain anonymous but may be presented as a whole to the general public in the form of exhibitions and public displays. If participants do not want their creative outputs to be displayed, please seal them in the envelope provided at the end of the session. Information, artistic outputs and data collected as part of the project will be securely stored and archived and may be used to develop further research in this area. Participants will be issued with a card containing a reference number and contact details for the project. You may withdraw your contributions at a later date by quoting this reference. Participants in these activities are not being assessed and there are no right or wrong answers. Participation is not mandatory, and you are free to withdraw from the activities at any time. The activities are being trialled and developed and we welcome feedback to improve the project. We want to critically engage with the experience of testing, but we also want to have fun, so rule-breaking and adaptation is encouraged!
