Looking@Looking is an international project exploring the nexus between scientific technology, creativity, and mark making. Mark-making is the way man has expressed his creative urges though the ages, from cave drawings created with organic materials, to the fine-detailed scratch of the nib or layering of paint on canvas. Traditionally, these marks have been made with the hands.

In this unique project, artist Hamish Ta-Mé and cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Tamara Russell, have trained their eyes to make a mark and create a unique series of fine-art prints for exhibition and sale. These prints are the result of an innovative art/science collaboration. The science is based on a technique which measures and records eye movements as an individual views a picture (or indeed any stimulus). The art aspect of the project extends the traditional ways in which humans have “made their mark” and explores how the artist plays with our visual attention. From mask painting to the great masterpieces man has used his hands. These works are the result of man making a mark with his eyes.

• The Science - what the technology is and how it is used in psychiatric work
• The Art - how the technological output is used to make art
• The Artist and The Scientist - more about the collaborators
• Press Release - details of the exhibition as they become available
• Sponsorship opportunities

As this represents such a ground breaking foray into a new medium for art we hope it will excite interest at an international level, not only among scientists and artists, but among members of the general public, young and old.

For this reason we believe that sponsorship of this event will be of interest to any organisation itself involved in the creative use of technology or for whom sponsorship of the arts is seen as of great value in the modern world. Please see the Sponsorship page for more details.
