SciArt SwitzerlAnd
A project on Art and Science by IBSA Foundation for scientific research, LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura and MASI Lugano, Museo d'arte della Svizzera italiana
To create a stimulating dialogue between fields that are distant and united at the same time in order to promote scientific culture within an international research path on Science and the Arts.
It is with this goal that SciArt SwitzerlAnd, a project of IBSA Foundation for scientific research, LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura and MASI Lugano, Museo d’arte della Svizzera italiana, was born.
Through different event formats and digital products, SciArt SwitzerlAnd intends to cast its gaze on those artistic creations that have been transformed through interaction with scientists, discoveries and research institutes.
Science and arts have always coexisted across time and space. Though with different methodologies and purposes, artists and artists, scientists and scientists, observe the world around them, opening us to new perspectives, interpretations and meanings.
The public will be able to get close to fascinating proposal born from the encounter between several dimensions, and hear from the living voices of artists and scientists how very different realities influence each other.
The new project fits perfectly within the mission of the Foundation, which since 2012 has been committed to spreading an authoritative scientific culture, sharing principles and knowledge in accessible language, and raising awareness of issues related to science, culture, and the well-being of the individual.
