Season 1
Art-Sci Currents: Season 1 art and science meet in motion through twelve in-depth conversations with art-scientists from 8 countries. This season’s episodes uncover how curiosity flows across disciplines and how imagination drives both research and creative practice.
Each conversation offers a glimpse into the lives of people who think and make beyond boundaries. They translate health research through visual art, find logic within dance, build structures from sound and uncover beauty in abstraction.
Together, these stories reveal that the line between knowing and feeling, logic and intuition, structure and chaos is far more fluid than we often imagine. Art-Sci Currents invites listeners to pause, reflect, and see how the pursuit of understanding, whether through experiment or expression, is part of the same creative current.
