Call for Artists: Curated Online Exhibition

“Illuminating the Beauty of Science”

Science and art have always been closely tied, as the purpose of both is to understand the world around us and create within it. With advancements in both research and technologies happening at an increasingly rapid pace, how does this change the approach to making art through a scientific lens? We are looking for works that highlight the intersections between science, technology and art. This could be through the use of alternative materials or new technologies, works that examine the science behind creativity, or even artworks that offer solutions to the most pressing scientific issues of our time.
