TALK
Johannes Goebel: About Differences: Art, Science, Engineering

Engineering, science, and art are often seen as having common ground. This is fed by a romantic view of Leonardo da Vinci, the genius who brought these disciplines together in his mind, life, and practice, and by an enthusiastic view of computer technology that continuously provides new scenarios and tools, which are used in all three fields.
This evocative lecture does not go along with the idea of putting everything into one bag and shaking it before deep-frying the mixture, but instead gives a perspective on the differences of the three fields in their motivations, methodologies, and goals. And out of a clear and respectful view of differences, a potential for collaboration and cross-pollination might evolve.
Johannes Goebel is the founding director of EMPAC. He joined Rensselaer in 2001 to work on the planning of the new building and to build EMPAC's program and team. Thoughts about arts, science, research, and technology have been important to him since he became involved in computer music at Stanford University in 1977. Johannes Goebel likes to find bridges between thoughts, what we can do with our hands, and what we perceive with our senses.
This event is free and open to the public
Evelyn's Café will open at 5 PM with a full menu of meals, snacks, and beverages as well as a selection of wines. Service continues after the event. Parking is available in the Rensselaer parking lot on College Avenue.
