The artists in this exhibition do not simply illustrate scientific principles with their work; they are dealing with attitudes and ideas about science, and not necessarily producing images that science may regard as correct or factual. As another curator of a science/art exhibition project noted, "it is not important whether these presentations of the subject are real, true or accurate. It is the reading of artworks as receptors of assumptions, even prejudices concerning science that is of interest." (Naomi Cass, What is this thing called science , University of Melbourne Gallery, 1987).
