"Blend" features a series of science-resourced works interpreted by artists Laura Blake, Claire Beynon, Nicola Gibbons, Robyn Webster, Sue Marshall, Pete Gorman, Sue Novell and Catherine Cocker.
The works explore subjects ranging from the Gulf of Mexico oil-spill disaster to magnified cancer cells.
Another work, Heteroclite by Dunedin electronic artist Pete Gorman, uses an old black and white television set and an audio oscillator to loop sound and moving images.
The exhibition, in the Rocda Gallery, is part of the 2010 New Zealand International Science Festival and features artists using science and technology to explore new forms of creative expression, co-ordinator Nicola Gibbons said yesterday.
"Art and science have traditionally been like oil and water, but there's a growing interaction between the two.
Artists can put a different spin on science, by opening up new thought processes," she said.
"Art-sci is a new form of creative expression."
"Blend" runs until July 17.
