We are proud to have been engaged to document this exhibition at the meeting point of science and art.

QUADRAT is an art-science exhibition by Jeanette STOK, a research scientist and practicing artist, and Michelle VINE, a contemporary artist and self-taught naturalist doing ‘citizen science’ projects. It explores the relationship between a scientific way of seeing the world and the inherently subjective nature of the human endeavor. The works in the exhibition demonstrate how art and science can inform each other to create meaning and knowledge. Artists Vine and Stok facilitate meaningful dialogues, often with a playful, deeply engaged awareness of how knowledge is made. By sharing their approach to measuring, quantifying, and collecting, they highlight the role of women in science through both a historical and contemporary lens, with a focus on the physical nature of scientific work. This very process of knowledge generation is at the heart of their fascination, mark making, and documenting this becoming how they investigate the sites of inquiry.

The artist commissioned Binkyfilms to create a series of videos documenting the exhibition. The design of the videos reflect the contrast between art and science, archival collections and natural ecologies, and how humans comprehend and navigate these different worlds.
