Bruce Presents: The Future of Art/Science: Teaching in the Living Laboratory Virtual Webinar via Zoom Explore the latest concepts in immersive art/science learning with those at the front lines thinking, making, and doing at the NYU Gallatin School Science Technology Arts + Creativity (STAC) program. Learn how groundbreaking, interdisciplinary engagements at the intersection of science, technology, arts, and the humanities are developing the next generation of innovative artists/scientists, and why we can no longer afford to see these disciplines as mutually exclusive. Are art and science two completely different, unrelated areas of learning? Some people may think so, but the researchers, professors, and students in the Science Technology Arts + Creativity (STAC) and WetLab programs in New York University’s groundbreaking Gallatin School of Independent Study know that art and science have been intertwined for centuries. On Thursday, February 17, 2022, at 7 pm, via Zoom webinar, the Bruce Museum will present The Future of Art/Science: Teaching in the Living Laboratory, a look at how one of America’s premier universities uses student-driven creativity and entrepreneurism as well as a maker space, workshops, and even the waterfront of Governor’s Island in New York harbor to explore the latest concepts in immersive art/science learning. The event is the 24th installment of the Bruce Museum’s acclaimed speaker series, Bruce Presents: Thought Leaders in the Fields of Art and Science. Support for Bruce Presents is generously provided by Berkley One, a Berkley Company. Speakers will include three NYU professors (Cyd Cipolla, Ph.D., Associate Director of Science, Technology, Arts and Creativity and Administrative Director of the Gallatin WetLab; Karen Holmberg, Ph.D., Scientific Director of the Gallatin WetLab; Eugenia Kisin, Ph.D., Artistic Director of the Gallatin WetLab) and three current students and/or alumni (Troy Gibbs-Brown, environmental arts theorist; Annick Saralegui [INFO TO COME]; and Blair Simmons, adjunct faculty, Interactive Telecommunications and Interactive Media Arts programs, NYU Tisch School of the Arts). Bruce Presents co-producer and NYU Gallatin alum Leonard Jacobs will moderate the event.
