Concurrent Session 7B Science Art: A dialogue about the value of art in Communicating science

“Can you really get the story from a picture in a magazine.” or hanging on a wall, or projected across the side of a Westfield, or sung by two musicians suspended from the flag pole at open day?  Where does science art simply become art and how can we best use the nature, aesthetic and audience of art to get a more serious science centric message across?
