61 A cutting-edge programme at Science Gallery Dublin 59 Our mission is to ignite encourages young people to learn through their interests. 57 creativity and discovery Since opening in 2008, over two million visitors to the gallery have experienced over thirty-six unique exhibitions 55 where science and art ranging from living art experiments to materials science 53 collide. Our vision is to and from the future of the human race to the future 51 of play. Our programme is fuelled by the expertise of catalyse the creation of the scientists, researchers, students, artists, designers, 49 inventors, creative thinkers and entrepreneurs. The focus 47 world’s leading network is on providing programmes and experiences that allow 45 visitors to participate and facilitate social connections, for involving, inspiring always providing an element of surprise. In 2012, the 43 and transforming curious Global Science Gallery Network was launched with the 41 support of Google.org. This initiative aims to establish 39 minds through science. Science Gallery locations in eight cities around the world by 2020, with the next gallery opening in London in 37 We achieve this through 2017, followed by Bengaluru and the first Science Gallery 35 in the southern hemisphere in Melbourne in 2018. 33 encouraging our audience to 31 discover, express and pursue 29 their passion for science 27 through an ever-changing 25 23 programme of exhibitions, 21 events and experiences, 19 all vividly brought together 17 at this dynamic intersection. 15 13 11 09 07 05 65 03 Exhibitions 63 61 59 Science Gallery Dublin’s 2015 programme asked big 57 social questions about topics that cause both concern 55 and celebration. Once again setting attendance 53 records, the Science Gallery Dublin audience showed 51 49 a preference for the difficult questions, challenging 47 ideas, and ambivalent conclusions that come out of 45 such contemporary, thought-provoking topics. 43 41 The sanctity of our own data, how we use it, and the 39 self-experimenters who track their every move were 37 explored in LIFELOGGING, along with the health, social 35 33 acceptance, and legality of doing so. Conversely, SECRET 31 uncovered coded worlds of cryptocurrencies, espionage 29 and deception from high-level governments to back-alley 27 lockpicks. In HOME\SICK, curators, roboticists, designers 25 23 and biologists examined our most intimate living space 21 and the changing nature of what it means to be ‘at home’. 19 Bringing us to the end of 2015, TRAUMA bridged the 17 neuroscience and BioArt of harm and hope, exploring the 15 13 body and mind’s capacity to break, heal, and recover. 11 09 07 65 03 Exhibitions 63 6113.02.15–17.04.15 59LIFELOGGING 73,542 57 Visitors 55 LIFELOGGING: DO YOU COUNT combined laboratory and exhibition, “Like all good exhibitions, LIFELOGGING 53 where visitors were ‘tooled up’ to explore one of the remaining frontiers doesn’t provide answers to the many 51 of data science: themselves.

Their projects also involved 25 talks, demonstrations and workshops on activities such as making brain 23 waves audible. 21 LIFELOGGING was curated by Nicholas Felton, author of The Feltron 19 Report, Linda Doyle, Director of CTVR, Trinity College Dublin, and Lynn Scarff, Acting Director at Science Gallery Dublin. 17 15 13 11 09 Exhibition supporters 65 03 Exhibitions 63 6101.05.15–19.07.15 59HOME\SICK 93,339 57 Visitors 55 What are the right homes to build in a growing city?
