Leonardo LASER Talks Linz

Scientific and artistic breakthroughs arise not only from discoveries but also from transformations in practices, methodologies, and systems of evaluation. Once defined by rigor and controlled experimentation, laboratories are now reimagined across disciplines as spaces where different forms of knowledge production (aesthetic, technological, ecological, theoretical) come into proximity, often under conditions of friction, ambiguity, or indeterminacy. 
This Leonardo LASER Talk event convenes artists and scientists working with mycelium and other living matter to present their research and open a dialogue on intersecting goals, infrastructural needs, shared and diverging agendas. Together, we will explore these laboratories as heterotopic spaces, capable of generating new collective practices and futures.
