Current Art/Science Collaborations
Liz Lerman Dance Exchange debuting On the Matter of Origins–a major dance piece inspired by Lerman’s work with scientists at CERN in Switzerland, home of the Large Hadron Collider: http://www.danceexchange.org/performance/origins.html#aa
From a new artist/scientist collaboration at the University of Chicago, some really interesting little videos that might inspire: One scientist involved writes, “An experiment that simulates the explosion of a star can create more than one billion data points. Artistic representation is a powerful tool that helps scientists make sense of mountains of data and furthers their experiments.” Recommended viewing:
