‘Misinformation is like a virus,’ according to Rose Hiscock, Director of the University of Melbroune’s recently opened Science Gallery. She was using her lecture ‘Why we need to tear down the borders between science, design and art in a post-COVID world’ delivered at the State Library of Victoria to highlight the raging conspiracies around COVID-19.
The pandemic has reduced the old distinctions between arts and science. Most recently the arts has campaigned for vaccinations, including MSO’s Performance of a Lifetime, #VAXTHENATION and NAVA’s #SitForAnArtist.
