PhD student Annie Yin won the best poster at the ESI ECR ‘paint your research’ event!
“My painting takes inspiration from the scenery of the Western Australian Outback at night. I witnessed this while I was at a mining exploration camp during a recent field trip to collect samples for my project. It combines the Milky Way (which I saw for the first time in my life on this trip), the silhouettes of gum (eucalyptus) trees against bright moonlight and the bright red dusty ground from which my drill core sample came from.”

We had a fantastic afternoon of talks and workshops @esi_exeter on Wednesday exploring soil, storytelling and insect creativity through two different interdisciplinary projects as part of the event Mapping Emergence + Making Kin With Soil.
University of Exeter Research Fellow, Dr Thomas O’Shea-Wheller and Falmouth University Lecturer in Photography @catarinafontoura shared details of their fascinating FX Creative Exchange collaboration, Mapping Emergence. Which has seen them conduct fieldwork across locations in Cornwall (including the Eden Project), utilising sugar solution and non-toxic ink to create art with ants in their natural habitats.

Artist @imandatoo shared more about her creative and multidisciplinary approach to reanimating soil as part of her residency with the University of Exeter and the Eden Project, Making Kin With Soil. Iman is working with Exeter and Eden Project researchers to explore how regenerative storytelling can create common and shared grammars for reanimating soils and communicating their inhabitants’ sentience and liveliness. She is particularly interested in exploring intimacy as a resource within scientific practice, drawing on cultural entanglements with the non-human to inform new ways of organising and knowledge-making.

We had a fun evening for our ESI ECR community last week titled “Paint your research.” Our brilliant researchers are also amazing artists! And we had pizza and drinks!
All the posters are now currently up on display in the ESI Interactive Space. Come take a look!

Explore soil, storytelling and insect creativity through two different interdisciplinary projects at an Environment and Sustainability institute talk on 19th July, bringing together the worlds of art and science. Firstly, University of Exeter Research Fellow, Dr Thomas O’Shea-Wheller and Falmouth University Lecturer in Photography Catarina Fontoura will share their fascinating FX Creative Exchange collaboration, Mapping Emergence, which sees them co-creating art with ants.
Then, artist Iman Datoo will share more about her creative and multidisciplinary approach to reanimating soil as part of her residency with the University of Exeter and the Eden Project, Making Kin With Soil. Discover the importance of interdisciplinary projects such as these and engage with creative humans and their non-human collaborators in this special one-off event.

To support local businesses even more, we have signed a facilities agreement with Buildsolar (an ESI spinout). They will share some of our facilities to further their research and erect a ‘demonstrator wall’ for gathering real world data.

Scientists, including ESI/ CEC academic Dr Ilya Maclean, are to deploy a network of microphones in the Amazon rainforest to listen and measure the numbers and species of birds, insects and other wildlife in order to research their roles in the forests.
