From striking visualisations of the human DNA to the investigations of rare plants, the stunning projects probe into some of life’s great mysteries and demonstrate the combined potential for art and science to illuminate these wondrous realms. 
Annie Ivanova, Curator
Zendai MOMA has introduced audiences in Shanghai to diverse range of contemporary ideas and new cultural experiences from around the world. In 2006 Ivanova initiated and presented the first comprehensive survey of Australian art and science collaborations in China, showcasing leading creative and scientific teams from around the country.

The Strange Attractors exhibition and symposium, explore startling creative projects realised through collaborations between artists and scientists. 

Through various Australian programs, the artists completed science residencies at high-end research facilities and worked with scientists from different disciplines. The fascinating results of their work are presented in the exhibition.
