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.
