The Science and Art Lab brings together cutting-edge research and art in their various forms of expression and media, fostering a dialogue between them. The goal is to facilitate diverse approaches to research questions and to promote an exchange between science, art, and society. We are convinced that this exchange sparks ideas that are at once critical and inspiring, thought-provoking, and community-building.
The Science and Art Lab is open to experimentation, interdisciplinary thinking, new formats, and ideas. We create space for dialogue between art and science and bring this space to life through lectures, exhibitions, screenings, and other opportunities for engagement.
In 2024, the Science and Art Lab launched with a pilot phase.
This included a film program with the SE²A (Sustainable and Energy Efficient Aviation) Cluster of Excellence in cooperation with the Braunschweig International Film Festival, as well as an artist residency affiliated with the QuantumFrontiers Cluster of Excellence.
