How do scientific and artistic bodies of knowledge intersect with human, social bodies?

Does art serve simply as a representational tool for the sciences or is there more to the picture than that?

Does research into bodies and their systems offer an insight into aesthetics, or is it confined to the purely functional?

Taking place over two days, the Super Human symposium will present an invigorating and inspiring mix of keynote speakers and collaborative research projects engaging with one or more of the symposium themes: Augmentation, Cognition and Nanoscale Interventions.
