I am lucky again to hear Gina talking about her work ( see http://transitlab.org/tags/gina-czarnecki)

Gina talks of Materiality of film processing at the film coop, how costly errors, eg exposing a week of work caused her to look to the new technology of video to make her animations.

A lot of her work becomes ‘real’ in the appropriate context,she explains that you cant evaluate an artwork immediately after, it needs time.

Development of artworks for waiting rooms, medical ethics. How to make artwork for bright lighted waiting rooms, producing a text based piece, that develops and is alive, how the piece has found its home.

Communication between research,public health and medicine.

If you are on the edge, then you have a chance to make a new space.

New ways……see the failure in one piece of art is the inspiration of the next, a tropical garden.

Parasitical studies, sandflies, a disease that comes out of deforestation, collaborates with Rod Dillon

Art review, collab with Lizzie Muller, how audiences interact with artwork, it created an evaluation document, for the welcome trust grant, contageon.

How to use something to the best for you, and how to make it work for the benifit of the institution you are working at.

Moved towards making a fit with other projects. Current loophole is how to use the human remains, you can’t keep that in medicine, but in cosmetic’s you can use the waste materials from cosmetic surgery.

Interested in the grey hole that is still here, stem cell banks. Reality behind the hype,

She dosent have to work with the ethics as it is already being addressed by the medical people in the collaboration.

How do you change the system so that artists are valued in this enterprise of research.
