Online lectures: Towards the Third Culture, the Co-Existence of Art, Science and Technology

Saturday the 18th of June The Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm will host a conference discussing the interchange between art and science. Previous month, in May, Laznia Centre for Contemporary Art hosted a conference on the same theme, held at Artus Court in Gdansk, Poland.

During two days academics from various fields of science as well as artists held lectures on the topic of art and science. In relation to the conference three exhibitions were shown. These were The Pleasure of Light, Performing Data and Blue Morph.
