PMI Art Commission Concept Designs Research & Consultation Process of Translation Schedules & Budgets Heather Barnett February 2011
Research Groups
Investigations Aims of research Intended outputs Long term goals Processes involved (mechanisms, procedures) Visualisation of research (communication within and outside expertise) Links between what happens in the lab and its potential real world impact
Cancer Control Electroflouresis Confocal fluorescence microscopy Histology
Cancer Control Network analysis of proteins
Cancer Control Research into link between Cortisol and recovery rates in cancer patients
Medical Engineering
Simulation Lab
Research & Consultation initial meetings correspondence research papers & web resources creative consultation activities

Concept Designs Points of Connection : Transformational Research & Predictive Calculations Individualised Medicine in Diagnosis & Treatment Relationship between molecular/cellular & whole person Link between laboratory research & clinical setting
Concept Designs The whole is greater than the sum of its parts Transformation of Scale (enlarging/reducing) Interior – Exterior (in body and building) Parts and the whole (shifting focus) Audience engagement (devices for interactivity)
Site plan
External site Directly outside PMI potential for single point perspective design changes as you change position
Single point perspective Example with molecular structure of Cortisol 3D design in metal or glass Design changes depending on viewing position
Vetruvian Woman Layers of glass: etched / 3D engraved / screen printed
Transformation of scale Example with enlarged fragment of knee cartilage cement material to resemble bone potential for interactivity: furniture / balance
