Press Release

MA Art and Science Class of 2019 presented RIFT, an interactive experience involving conceptual sciences, positive social change and sensory stimulation.

Produced by the interdisciplinary artists studying at Central Saint Martins, RIFT brought together 17 artists deriving from varied scientific disciplines including bio-design, parasitology, astronomy, anatomy, neuroscience and more. RIFT channelled these concepts and theories through sculpture, performance, paintings and play. These interdisciplinary concepts were stimulated by current thought and documented the human experience through the course of the exhibition and events programme.

RIFT immersed the audience into cognitive realities during the week-long exhibition, paired with exclusive scheduled events and a performative symposium.
