Work by Daksha Patel is on display at the John Rylands library
Exhibition explores "Noisy Bodies"
19 October 2015
Medical images contrast with artistic flair
A NEW exhibition at the John Rylands library showcases the work of Manchester School of Art lecturer Daksha Patel.
Noisy Bodies, which opened this month, combines art with medical imaging.
The exhibition features new drawings and prints, which explore the scientific concept of “noise.”
Daksha’s art utilises stylistic elements of medical imaging to explore noise within the human body.
She said: “Noise in a scientific context is understood as unintentional, unverifiable or unknown signals generated by the human body or by technologies during the process of data transmission.”
Daksha will give a talk on the exhibition on October 29 from 6pm to 7.30pm as part of Manchester Science Festival.
The exhibition runs until December 20, and can be found in the Historic Reading room of the John Rylands Library.
