Welcome to "What's Art Got To Do With It?", the podcast that takes you beyond the white walls of the Cambridge Art Galleries. Join us as we embark on an unscripted and unedited journey led by our very own gallery staff, who bring their unique perspectives and experiences to the forefront. Through candid conversations and personal anecdotes, we delve into the intersection of art and life, exploring the profound impact it has on our daily experiences. From thought-provoking exhibitions to the intricacies of the creative process, we share stories that resonate far beyond the confines of the gallery space. Tune in as we uncover the deeper connections between art and the world around us, inviting you to join the conversation and discover What's Art Got To Do With It?

BioArt: Bio Art is an interdisciplinary field that merges biology, genetics, biotechnology, and art. It encompasses artworks that utilize living organisms, tissues, or cells as part of their creation process. Bio artists often collaborate with scientists and researchers to explore ethical, social, and philosophical implications of biotechnology and its applications in artistic expression.

Neuroaesthetics: "Neuroaesthetics is the study of how our brain and biology change [from exposure to] the arts," Magsamen says, and she expands the definition to include not just the human-made but nature as well. "I always say nature is the mother of all arts."
