What if interdisciplinary thinking, where ideas stem from the fusion of artistic pursuits and empirical knowledge, became the standard across all levels of human advancement? CreMAP: The Innovator Art-Scientist platform was proposed to invite interdisciplinary thinkers to embrace the role of art-scientist, contributing to ongoing dialogue on the integration of art and science practices.

Art and science, seemingly disparate at first glance, share common ground in their pursuit of truth, expression and exploration. By delving into the imaginative and the empirical, this project embodies the belief that the intersection of art and science nurtures the development of impactful truths that would otherwise remain untold.

In building the creMAP platform, the voices of emerging art-scientists flourished. Over eight weeks of thoughtful discussion, thirty students from leading institutions across Canada and the United States were moved to share their stories. MOTION, the coffee table art-science feature book, evolved as a collection of ten essays that stand as a testament to the impact that arises when diverse disciplines converge.
