Spring 2013

This Spring we bring you a season of performances, talks, screenings, exhibitions, concerts, and happenings that play with and challenge the boundaries of the arts, sciences, and technology. We invite you to experience adventures that cross the lines of what we think we know; prepare to be engaged and sometimes provoked.

Highlights include:

PERFORMANCE

CREW / Eric Joris: HeadSwap
JAN 26, 7 PM

CREW, a Belgian-based multidisciplinary team of artists and researchers, will present the outcome of their three-week residency at HeadSwap.

FREE

TALK

Johannes Goebel: About Differences: Art, Science, Engineering
APR 4, 6 PM

This lecture does not go along with putting art, science, and technology into one bag and shaking it before deep-frying the mixture. A perspective on the differences in motivations and goals may open up a respectful view of the other fields and potential collaborations.
