Sightations exhibition

The aims for the Sightations galleries are to:

• Provoke a critical dialogue between art and science within an archaeological context.
• Explore and challenge conventions within archaeological visualisations.
• Provide a showcase of diverse artworks inspired/influenced by archaeology, and for archaeological projects inspired/influenced by art and the creative sectors.
• Bring together artists, creatives and archaeologists from diverse sectors and with overlapping interests, and by doing so provide opportunities for future collaborations.
• Showcase the latest advances in archaeological visualization techniques and ideas, while continuing to sustain more traditional approaches to archaeological visualizations and artistic expression.
• Engage audiences in new, innovative, exciting and unexpected ways.
