Scientist and artists are at the forefront of knowledge. During National Science Week, drop by to engage in online conversations with some of Australia’s most interesting artists and scientists, hosted by artist/scientist Steven Durbach. Discover who they are and what inspires them.
“With this year’s unprecedented bushfires and the ongoing COVID crisis, people – even those not typically interested in science – have become hungry for facts about what is going on in their world,” said Steven Durbach.
“They want to hear directly from the scientists. They want to get to know the scientists who do the work. Who they are? What makes them tick? How do they go about doing the work they do? And most importantly, how can they engage more meaningfully with society?””
But why in conversation with artists? Contemporary artists are essentially our modern day philosophers said Steven.
“They thrive by engaging with the world they live in through making objects or performance that challenge our notions of who we are as individuals and a culture. It is for this reason that we wanted to get artists and scientists in conversation to draw out the important – but often neglected place – of science in our culture.”
Steven said that this live conversation series will mostly be about getting to know artists and scientists who he regards as the boundary hunters in our society. Probing and challenging at the edges.
“We invite you to come and listen to these online experiments in the forms of conversations where we will get to know these amazing and inspiring people through the work they do during this exciting online event.”
