Art 4 Science

Art4Science: The scientific work of the St. Anna Childrens Cancer Research Institute is to be made comprehensible and graspable through trialogue and interaction between science, art and general publicwith the interaction of the general public. A specially designed radio format contributes to a higher level dissemination. The starting point are four scientific FWF-financed reference projects. These are brought closer to artists from four different disciplines and transformed and presented by them in their respective genre. The audience will be involved in this interaction, thus forming an active trialog. Various artistic interaction methods will be applied, which each artist will use specifically for the respective PopUp lab-setting and location: e.g.: in a coffee house, shopping street, school, etc.. In this way, the complex scientific content can be experienced in an artistic process and the viewers are involved in the creation on site. In a radio series, artists and researchers enter the moderated public trialogue together with guests. The documented workflow and the various artistic interactions and translations are made public via various channels (website, streams, pics, exhibition and radio). An unprecedented connection between art and science in dialogue (trialogue with the public) serves to produce tangible and audible translations of scientific content. Highly complex research work is transformed into understandable and novel formats that are interactively designed together with viewers. This transformation from science to art can be followed by the viewer/listener in the long run and binds the audience sustainably to the process of creation.
