Resource: “Trust me, I’m an Artist: Towards an Ethics of Art and Science Collaboration” investigated the new ethical issues arising from art and science collaboration and considered the roles and responsibilities of the artists, scientists and institutions involved. It comprised a series of public events, in international settings. At each event (before a live audience) an internationally known artist proposed an artwork to a specially formed ethics committee. The ethics committee then debated the proposal and cames to a decision which everyone then discussed. The four events featured Adam Zaretsky, Art Orienté objet, Neal White and Anna Dumitriu.
