This projected light installation is an exploration of new digital media technologies to bring the amazing world that is the machinery inside cells to a broader public audience. Science and visual art come together in a collaborative project between staff and students at the University of Sydney. The installation showcases some of the many ways that single cells produce and respond to insulin using experimental microscopy data. This is current research performed in the laboratory of Professor David James at the University of Sydney’s Charles Perkins Centre that is dedicated to easing the burden of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and related conditions through innovative research and teaching.
