LABoral Art Sciences Talk
Webinar
Hosted by: LABoral Centro de Arte Thursday, April 15, 2021 10.00 - 14.00 & 18.00 - 19.00 (GTM) Online Event (free, registration required)
What can science contribute to art and what does art contribute to science? How can they collaborate, when their working languages, methods and objectives often correspond to different criteria? What are the challenges and difficulties of this collaboration? How does work in one area affect work in the other? What is the benefit of these collaborations? And what is the future of these kinds of transversal connections for art, culture, and the university?
These are some of the questions that will be addressed in this day of dialogues entitled LABoral Art Science Talks, based on the study of specific cases related to the exhibition of art, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence, When the butterflies of the soul flutter their wings. This is an international exhibition of projects featuring biological and artificial neural networks, organized by LABoral Centro de Arte in close collaboration with the Institute of Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence Center of the University of Oviedo.
Morning session (English) The first three talks of the morning session are based on the study of different cases of art-science collaboration, linked to the works cellF by Guy Ben Ary, Membrane by Ursula Damm and Kissing Data Symphony by Lancel/Maat.
Afternoon session (Spanish with simultaneous English translation) The afternoon session will share the results of the interdisciplinary workshop on data management and artificial intelligence, Predictive Data Selfie Workshop, given simultaneously by artists Clara Boj and Diego Diaz, in collaboration with engineers Beatriz Remeseiro and Pablo Pérez from the Artificial Intelligence Center of the University of Oviedo. At the presentation of the final results of the workshop, which was held during the current school year 2020/2021 at five secondary schools, collaborating artists and scientists will also be accompanied by some of the teachers and students who participated in this pilot experience.
Programme
10 to 11 am Speakers: Guy Ben Ary (AU) and Dr. Stuart Hodgetts (AU) Moderator: Luz Mar González-Arias (ES) The first conversation between artist Guy Ben Ary and physicist Dr. Stuart Hodgetts will explore the background of the research and production of the cellF project, the world's first cellular synthesizer. They are both associated with SymbioticA Lab, the first arts laboratory dedicated to critical and practical research and learning in the life sciences at the University of Western Australia in Perth.
11:15 am to 12:15 pm Speakers: Ursula Damm (DE) and Georg Trogemann (DE) Moderator: Luz Mar González-Arias (ES) The second conversation is linked to the artificial intelligence work Membrane made by artist Ursula Damm. She will discuss the challenges of art and science collaboration, linked to artificial intelligence, with mathematician and engineer Georg Trogemann, professor of experimental computer science at the Academy of Media Art in Cologne.
12:30 to 1:30 pm Speakers: Karen Lancel and Hermen Maat (NL) and Prof. Frances Brazier (NL) Moderator: Luz Mar González-Arias (ES) The third conversation is linked to Lancel/Maat's The Kissing Data Symphony, a work that brings together art, neuroscience, psychology, and sociology. Artists Lancel and Maat will reflect on the challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration with scientist Frances Brazier, full professor in Engineering Systems Foundations at the Delft University of Technology.
6 to 7 pm Speakers: Clara Boj (ES), Diego Díaz (ES) and Pablo Pérez (ES) Moderator: Karin Ohlenschläger (DE/ES), Artistic director of LABoral Centro de Arte The results of the interdisciplinary face-to-face/virtual Predictive Data Selfie Workshop on the scientific and artistic use of data and the predictive values of artificial intelligence will be presented to the educational community during this talk. The experiences and knowledge produced will be shared with the educational community, including the testimonies of some of the teachers and students participating in the workshop along the school year 2020/2021.
