Following his participation in the Atopic Art Micro-residency with the Brown Lab in University of Dundee's School of Medicine at Ninewells Hospital, Gordon Douglas developed Fizz w/o Friction (2017). The art work lifts four diagrams from the contexts of Ninewells Hospital, eczema clinics and dermatology genetic research, and inserts them as stimuli in a fictional play of four acts stored on university voicemail boxes. Fizz w/o Friction was exhibited as part of the exhibition Beyond Skin in LifeSpace.
