Since May artists Stephen Hurrel (picture) and Mark Lyken have been accompanying researchers on field trips to diverse and challenging locations in order to create new works that investigate parallels between marine mammal and human senses; exploring how sound and light, whether it be natural or man-made, affect behaviour. For more about the residency read their blogs. 

Sublime is linking in with this year's British Science Festival, hosted by the University of Aberdeen from 4 - 9 September. A programme of talks have been developed exploring some of the Field Station's research and its links with industry in the Moray Firth.
