Art meets...
Collaborations at the intersection of art, science and technology. Join our conversations and discover how these different fields collaborate and inspire each other.
Composed as three mini-series, the second season of the ‘Art meets...’ podcast brings together artists, cultural practitioners, scientists and experts from institutions worldwide discussing the conditions of fruitful transdisciplinary collaboration and sharing insights into art-science projects in which they have been involved or have enabled.
The podcast ‘Art meets...’ was launched as part of the foundation’s 'Art, Science and Technology' focus (2021-2024 Federal Cultural Policy Statement), which supports collaboration, exchange and production between these three fields. After the first season in 2021, the podcast is now going into its second and final round.
