Brian Eames and Jean-Sebastien Gauthier -- Immersive Evolution and Potency of Sci-Art
Based in Saskatoon, Brian Eames is an evolutionary biologist in the field of cellular development of bones. In the Eames Lab at the University of Saskatchewan, they use molecular genetics and advanced imaging techniques to understand how skeletal tissues develop and evolve. A general focus of the lab is on skeletal differentiation, particularly between bone and cartilage. Jean-Sebastien Gauthier is an artist born and raised in Saskatoon, the grandson of prominent Saskatoon sculptor Bill Epp. He grew up working and learning in his grandfather’s foundry. At Concordia University, Jean-Sebastien expanded his practice as a sculptor into multi-media and interactive arts experiences. He currently resides in Saskatoon. Together they have created installation works of art combining scientific imaging, immersive art experiences, evolution and a strong desire to inspire people to see themselves in all living things.
