With intriguing insights on process, purpose and impact, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of day-to-day life, we get a glimpse into the future of innovation. No two episodes are the same! This series is all about curiosity, discovery and the interdisciplinarity of art and science in motion.

We’re closing out Season 2 the way we opened it, with a conversation between host Nicia John and Brune Bettler, the two voices behind our prelude episode. This time, they’re looking back, and in this finale, Nicia and Brune reflect on key themes that surfaced throughout the season. This is a conversation about specialization and openness, about the community that made this season possible, and excitement for all that comes next. Thank you for spending this season with us!

Philippe-Aubert Gauthier explores the intersection of art, science and technology through sound art, engineering and media archaeology. He is drawn to the technological extremes of the very old and the very new. We discuss the hidden history embedded in the tools we use every day and why real interdisciplinary work means going deep in more than one field rather than staying comfortably in between.

After twenty-five years as an award-winning graphic designer, Michelle walked away to build a fine art practice rooted in weather and climate data. This episode of Art-Sci Currents explores how she turns wildfires and storms into felt experience, why simplicity has become her guiding theme, and what it takes to build an interdisciplinary career on your own terms. This is a conversation about slowing down in a world built for speed.

Designer, researcher, and diver Rasa Weber joins Art-Sci Currents to talk about what she’s learned from years spent underwater in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. Rasa shares why she is drawn to damaged ecosystems rather than pristine ones, and what that means for how she designs. She talks about failure as part of the process, her collaborations with marine biologists and artisans, and why she’d rather risk making things wrong than stop making altogether.

How do creativity, art and science come together to shape the future? In this episode of Art-Sci Currents, artist, researcher and innovation pioneer Dr. Todd Siler explores creativity as a lifelong practice rooted in curiosity, metaphor and interdisciplinary thinking. Together, we discuss how art helps us understand complex ideas, why creativity can be cultivated by anyone and how connecting knowledge across disciplines can inspire innovation, strengthen education and help address the complex challenges facing our world today.

In this prelude episode, The Crearte Foundation’s founder Nicia John and collaborator Brune Bettler sit down to open Art-Sci Currents Season 2. They talk about how they found each other inside the art-science community, what it actually means to live and work between disciplines, and why this intersection is about more than creative projects. This is the conversation before the conversation. The guests ahead have decades of experience at the intersection of art and science, and Nicia and Brune share what it was like to meet them, and why the episodes coming are worth the wait. Curious?
