"Colliding Worlds - How Cutting-Edge Science is Redefining Contemporary Art"
There is a quiet revolution going on in the world of art, a new avant garde pushing the boundaries farther than ever before. These are artists who work together with scientists to make extraordinary creations that may well change the world as we know it. From designer butterflies to plastic surgery as performance theatre, from rabbits that glow in the dark to seeing sound and sculpting data – the lecture will introduce this brave new world.
