Cancer ARt Gallery.
Mastering a Malignancy is a cancer biology-themed, portable art gallery using augmented reality and adaptive soundtracks. Pairing scientists with creatives, we’re using pop-culture themes to discuss cancer biology and cutting edge research. This project is our main focus in 2021 and we will be updating this page with more information about this project over the coming year. If you’re interested in sponsoring this project, or being involved as a scientist or creative, please reach out us!
For a 1-minute explainer of the project, see the video below.

Illustration is by Ben ‘Banjo Bonfire’ Dutton in collaboration with Dr Ken Dutton-Regester. We are currently animating and overlaying a sound track for this.
