Course Summary

The pioneers of art have always been active in introducing scientific knowledge and discoveries. Similarly, the pioneers of science have always valued artistic intuition and insight. To begin with, the classification of art and science has changed over time, and many of the past activities that we in the present regard as art were not classified as art at the time. What can be said with certainty is that the creation of something new requires both intuition and insight based on particularity and verification based on data and experience.

In today's world, where technology has penetrated into every corner of our lives, where problems are intricately interconnected, and where society is changing at a breakneck pace, dialogue and collaboration between artists and scientists is becoming increasingly important.

Research institutions such as NASA, ESA, and CERN are now inviting artists-in-residence and employing artists on a full-time basis.

Based on this recognition, this project invites graduate students whose research themes include the interdisciplinary fields of art and science, science in art, and art in science, to participate in a common environment for research promotion, concept building, discussions, and workshops.
