Heinrich and Palmer
Inner Worlds Project
The BIU has a long and successful history of collaboration with professional artists who use our microscopes to create and inspire artworks in a variety of media as well as through projections and installations.
In the past we have hosted artists in residence and we welcome enquiries from artists and students who are interested in using our facilities for one-off projects, commissions and portfolios. We especially encourage new collaborations with staff and students at Winchester School of Art .
Please explore the links below for more information on specific collaborations.
