SAI News & Events
What might Hilma af Klimt teach us about physics? How might studying a rock help us think about modern sculpture? How can we think science fiction and science together? What is the relationship between the art museum and the laboratory?
Co-taught by an art historian and physicist, this class explores the dynamic intersections of the arts, humanities and sciences. Course topics include: Sci-Fi and fate; the fourth dimension and occultism; AI art; earth and environment; craft and technology; colonialism and restitution; speculative futures and queerness; techno-orientalism. Classes will include visits to various sites where science and art are made, as well as guided object study and object making.
