About<br />
Candi is a passionate STEM professional working across<br />
government, education and research sectors. Her past<br />
research has looked at ways to use bacteria to clean up<br />
nuclear fallout zones, has explored bacteria living in extreme<br />
environments (such as the deep-sea floor), and has created<br />
glowing biosensors that can help us better understand<br />
neurodegenerative diseases. She is a passionate science<br />
communicator, always interested in finding new ways to<br />
explain the natural world and potential of science in nonconventional<br />
ways.<br />
Candi is currently undertaking a project looking to explore the<br />
language and biochemistry of human behaviour, particularly<br />
love. She is working with the Museum of Broken Relationships<br />
in Croatia to explore the words we use to describe love and<br />
loss across language, culture and time. She is also interested<br />
in transformative experiences, rituals and all forms of bio-art.<br />
Science of Love<br />
Deeply immersed in data, stories and frameworks relating<br />
to love and loss. During the residency, I analysed stories<br />
from the Museum of Broken Relationships to understand<br />
the words we use when we talk about love, and objects that<br />
represent the feeling across language, culture and time. I<br />
also analysed my own data-set where people explained what<br />
different 'species' of love such as 'love', 'romance', 'worship'<br />
and 'adore' meant to them. A new framework and research<br />
study was designed, and the cascades of chemicals and<br />
neurotransmitters that are triggered as people move between<br />
emotional states were mapped.<br />
The spaces between the data were filled with conversations,<br />
nature, writing and learning the arts of weaving and pop-up<br />
art creating (aka 'paper engineering').
