The New Immortals Exploring ideas about immortality in an age of scientific miracles. and What difference would it make if we didn’t have to die?

In an age when scientists can create, manipulate, alter and sustain life to an extent once unimaginable, The New Immortals explores man’s ongoing quest for immortality, from the historic search for eternal life through religion, alchemy, magic and medicine, to the modern miracles of contemporary biomedical science. I’ll be asking: Could indefinite human life become a reality?, Would we really want to live indefinitely? I’ve been talking to scientists, medical practitioners, philosophers, ethicists, artists, curators and the public to explore ideas around immortality and what it could mean for humanity. The project culminates in an exhibition of new work by myself and nine other artists at Phoenix Brighton in 2016. Supported by a Grant for the Arts from The National Lottery through Arts Council England. The New Immortals exhibition is at Phoenix Brighton from 20th Feb 2016 to 20 March 2016. www.phoenixbrighton.org

and exhibiting artist Murray Ballard's signing of his new photo book 'The Prospect of Immortality' at Phoenix was a huge success. We heard about Murrays 9 year research travels, the weird and wonderful people he met and his own personal view on immortality. Conversation was led by Miniclick and Gordon MacDonald from GOST publishing. (A number of very well behaved dogs were in the audience, clearly Cryonics is an area of interest for canines!) The book is available to purchase Phoenix Brighton
