ANATOMY OF A NETWORK
The exhibition serves as a platform to highlight and celebrate the diverse approaches and individuals working within our Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) network. We extended invitations to fifteen members from various research backgrounds and career stages to underscore that AMR is a complex issue that transcends disciplinary, societal, and national boundaries.
'Researching Resistance' originated from the research conducted during Simon Ryder's Creative Fellowship with the AMR network in the winter of 2019. Each portrait within the exhibition is a response to how the respective researcher presented themselves and their work to me, incorporating a key element of their research. To create these portraits, we employed photogrammetry, generating a series of point clouds.
These point clouds were then manipulated using 3D animation software, resulting in the captivating tableaux you see here. We chose this approach deliberately to emphasize that every individual depicted in this series, while pursuing their unique research, is an integral part of a unified network. Our collective aim is to address the urgent challenge of antimicrobial resistance through collaborative thinking. You can view this series on display at the University of Exeter Streatham Campus Forum from November 15th to 26th, 2021.
