Studiotopia – Art meets Science in the Anthropocene
STUDIOTOPIA is a European initiative that seeks to activate the collaborative and interdisciplinary expertise required to face the ecological implications of the Anthropocene. It consists of eight European cultural institutions: Center for Fine Arts (BOZAR) and GLUON in Brussels, Ars Electronica in Linz, Cluj Cultural Centre in Cluj, Laznia Centre for Contemporary Art in Gdansk, Onassis Cultural Centre in Athens, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Laboral in Gijon.
STUDIOTOPIA implements an inverse art and science residency model where scientists from diverse disciplines respond to an open call to work alongside and learn from leading European artists. The residency programme aims to create an experimental space where scientists and artists can exchange ideas, learn from each other, develop methods for transdisciplinary collaboration, and create speculative solutions to sustainable development. The purpose of the programme is also to formulate a clearer understanding of how artists and scientists can work together, and how such interactions can contribute to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Ars Electronica nominated artists Kat Austen and Maja Smrekar to host selected scientists-in-residence.
