Welcome to the Salon!

For this episode, we recorded live from Berlin Science Week 2023, where we set up shop in a corner of the ART & SCIENCE FORUM at the bustling Holzmarkt 25 on the banks of the Spree. 

We spoke with Dr Mhairi Stewart (Vice Head of Public Engagement at the Museum für Naturkunde), Dr Claire Murray (a chemist and science communicator) and Walt Nied (a designer, coder, and co-founder of the new media artist network Concept Null). In this wide-ranging conversation, we discussed definitions of transdisciplinarity, art-science lexicons, false dichotomies, and the different roles of artists and scientists when collaborating with one another.

The Art+Science Salon at Berlin Science Week 2023

Welcome to the Salon!

For this episode, we set up a pop-up podcasting corner in the Digital Lounge at the Digital Hub, where we invited the participants, stakeholders, coordinators, and artists of Beta Festival to stop by and share their thoughts on what it means to facilitate the inaugural year of this fascinating festival of science, art, and technology. We spoke with Julian Ellison (The Digital Hub), Jo Mangan (The Performance Corporation), Marguerite Barry (The ADAPT Centre), and Joanna Walsh (University College Dublin) about their individual contributions to Beta Festival.

The Art+Science Salon At Beta Festival 2023

Welcome to the Salon! 

In this episode, we spoke with Barney Steel of Marshmallow Laser Feast about 'Evolver' - an 'immersive 360º audiovisual world' - the Cannes Film Festival selected XR experience guided by the voice of Academy Award-winning actor Cate Blanchett and featuring musical scores by Jonny Greenwood, Meredith Monk, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Howard Skempton and Jon Hopkins.

Barney is an artist whose expansive vision has taken him from directing music videos for bands like Depeche Mode to creating and exhibiting immersive experiences at places like the Sundance Film Festival, London’s Saatchi Gallery, and most recently, Cannes Film Festival 2024. Marshmallow Laser Feast uses science as a catalyst to create highly interactive and immersive installations exploring the mysteries and wonders of life on our planet.

The Art+Science Salon: Barney Steel / Marshmallow Laser Feast

Welcome to the Salon!

In March 2024 we assumed the role of official podcasters of Creative Brain Week - a Global Brain Health Institute innovation at Trinity College Dublin, presented in association with Creative Aging International, the Jameel Arts & Health Lab, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and with support from Creative Ireland and the Atlantic Institute. We spoke with a plethora of poets and policymakers, hosted reflection sessions, and chatted with some fascinating researchers. In this mini episode, you will hear poetry from the amazing Morag Anderson (Scottish Poetry Library), delve with us into the research of neuropsychologist Dr Tanisha Hill-Jarrett (University of California, San Francisco) incorporating everything from systemic racism to Afrofuturism as art and epistemology, and gain some insights from the Reflection Sessions we co-hosted with Morag at the end of each conference day.

The Art+Science Salon at Creative Brain Week 2024 | Part 1

Welcome to the Salon!

In March 2024 we assumed the role of official podcasters of Creative Brain Week: a Global Brain Health Institute innovation at Trinity College Dublin, presented in association with Creative Aging International, the Jameel Arts & Health Lab, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and with support from Creative Ireland and the Atlantic Institute. In our second mini-episode and third podcast stemming from Creative Brain Week, we sat down with Robyn Landau of Kinda Studios, a neuroscience studio driving creative impact by using neuroaesthetic principles in design. We spoke about embodiment, designing for the mind, collaborating with DJ Jayda G, and “muscular bonding” and heard about Kinda Studios own podcast “Beyond Five Senses”. In this episode, we also sift through more insights from our Reflection Sessions co-hosted with Scottish Poetry Library’s Morag Anderson, and bond over the visual poetry of Ian Hamilton Finlay. The themes of Creative Brain Week 2024 were “Attention, Connection, & Love” and we discuss how the visual in and through poetry might capture, and speak to, all three of these elements.

The Art+Science Salon at Creative Brain Week 2024 | Part 2

Welcome to the Salon! 

We were delighted to be joined by the Provost of Trinity College Dublin, Linda Doyle, for a fascinating conversation about finding the beauty in engineering, cross-disciplinary collaboration, proximal relations between researchers, and her hopes for the future of interdisciplinarity. We also touched on the parallels between quantum concepts and the Irish language (Gaeilge)!

The Art+Science Salon | Interview with Linda Doyle, Provost of Trinity College Dublin

We were delighted to partner with Berlin Science Week again in November 2024 to host a sold out panel event on the “Science of Sex”, featuring panelists whose expertise ranged from cultural anthropology, sexology, slime mould, current German policy on trans-affiriming healthcare, and… Hegelian dialectics! 

Our thanks to Dr Maria Dębińska (ICI Berlin / Polish Academy of Sciences), Dr Pichit Buspavanich (Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin) and Dr Tobias Wieland (Freie Universität Berlin / IKSK - Institut für Körperforschung und sexuelle Kultur) for joining us in Säälchen in Holzmarkt 25.

"The Science of Sex" at Berlin Science Week 2024

Ariane Koek is a world leader in the field of science and art. The initiator and Founding Director of Arts at CERN (2009-2015), she is a change maker, visionary, strategist, creative force, inspirational speaker, and policy maker. We were so delighted to welcome her to the Salon to discuss her career trajectory, creative inspiration, cultural collisions, scientific ideas as springboards to the imagination, and… what makes you weird? 

Her recent address to the European Commission has become a manifesto of sorts for us as we negotiate the shifting political contexts of knowledge production and advocate for the importance of the arts and science. Read the full text on Ariane’s Substack: https://substack.com/home/post/p-157974624
