Early scientific ‘photographs of the invisible’ – from x-ray to photomicrography, and motion studies to pictures of electrical charges – have had a profound effect on the development of modern and contemporary art.

Bringing together world-renowned artists, curators and academics, and coinciding with the final days ofRevelations: Experiments in Photography, this one-day symposium examines the importance of early scientific photography for the creative arts and the ways in which its meanings have shifted across time and space.

• John Blakinger, Stanford University / National Gallery of Art, Washington DC
• Marta Braun, Ryerson University
• Ben Burbridge, University of Sussex / co-curator Revelations
• Ori Gersht, artist

• Corey Keller, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
• Sarah Pickering, artist
