For both artists and scientists, language plays a crucial role in investigating, understanding and explaining the world.  Frequently especially in the case of science, new languages have been invented to fit the discoveries and inventions of its work. Language by definition is the material of writers and since the breakthroughs of conceptual art, artists and writers have developed the use textual forms in ways that can be strange and equally inventive. It has been argued that the most intense human creativity is now focused in scientific discovery at the boundaries of human knowledge; in this exhibition, six contemporary artists whose work is informed by engagement in the language and preoccupations of science and mathematics have created new works in dialogue with fields as diverse as quantum mechanics to ornithology.

Artists included Tony Trehy, Carolyn Thompson, Hester Reeve, Shaun Pickard, Mark Jalland and Phil Davenport.
