Art and Nanotechnology

gnration (PT) and INL – International Iberian Nanotechnology Institute (PT / EU)

gnration presents a virtual tour of The Invention of Sense by Marcel Weber. The exhibition explores extrasensory perception and a new sensuality. In the featured works, as well as in their presentation, Sensing, Discovering and Exciting are discussed, stimulated and elevated. The exhibition takes the premise further by extending the established restrictions of gallery space and turning the room itself into a medium and a stimulating, visceral experience.

art+science lab

Center for the Promotion of Science – CPN (RS)

The central segment of the Belgrade Garden is the premiere of the winning artwork from the national art+science selection for 2020. Digital Prayer by Kristina Tica uses ML techniques for establishing a connection between the canonical structure of an Orthodox icon and the image artificially generated by a computer program. The Garden will also host a musical performance I Sit and Worry About Her by Jasna Jovicevic (winner of the national selection in 2019), based on sonification of brain waves. Both works came out as results of interdisciplinary dialogues and an intensive scientific mentorship/residency program facilitated by CPN at principal national research centers.
