The Sound of Cancer

We know what cancer looks like – but we don’t know what it sounds like.

The Sound of Cancer is an arts-science collaboration investigating what cancer does through sound.  Our aim for the project is to demystify cancer.

You can follow progress and find more info about The Sound of Cancer on the BLOG:

In November 2017 we had a first public presentation outcome at the Wheeler Centre. This event explored the development of cancer and its treatment, with specialised AV design and an interactive art installation. A panel, hosted by Ranjana Srivastava, and with panellists Jonathan Cebon, Patrick Humbert, Mark Shackleton discussed advances in immunotherapy, based on research into the communication between cancer cells and the immune system.
