With this project, we wish to emphasize the rich ecologies formed by science, its scientific spaces, its labs, and its instruments. Through processes of collaborations with the sciences and their protagonists, we believe that the arts have a crucial role in revealing, communicating, and even realizing these ecologies. As well, we wish to show the connection of scientific objects and institutional spaces with the social and urban fabric of the city.
During the past months, artists have engaged intensively with a variety of science collections and scientific practices at the University of Toronto. On April 7, 10, 11 and 12 they will conduct Artist Talks and will discuss their experience and approaches with scientists and science practitioners, who will act as their respondents.
