Panel Statement
Focus Programme. Invited Panel
This panel features artists, curators and scientists who collaborate at the intersection of art and science. From particle physics at CERN to polymer chemistry at the AMI Institute for nanoscience, gain insight into their artistic research and scientific creativity. The discussion aims to show the innovation potential lying within encounters between art and science as well as the challenges of those encounters. The showcased collaborations don’t simply use art to visualize science or use scientific information to create art, but rather generate new forms and types of knowledge. https://prohelvetia.ch
