boredomresearch (aka Vicky Isley and Paul Smith) have been commissioned to create a new artwork, a digital visualization of cancer. This new work is scheduled to be shown at the CDC Gallery in Washington D.C., and major teaching hospitals around the country amongst other prominent venues.
It is our hope that this artwork will function on multiple levels. It will be a work of beauty, offsetting the sometimes sterile environment of a clinical facility, educate people about the science of cancer, comfort people who have cancer, and potentially act as a point of conversation between the patient and the clinicians.
