ARS ELECTRONICA ARCHIVE - ART & SCIENCE

The basis of the „European Digital Art and Science Network“ is a big manifold network consisting of scientific mentoring institutions (ESA, CERN, ESO and Fraunhofer MEVIS), the Ars Electronica Futurelab and seven European cultural partners (Center for the promotion of science, RS – DIG Gallery, SK – Zaragoza City of Knowledge Foundation, ES – Kapelica Gallery / Kersnikova, SI – GV Art, UK – Laboral, ES – Science Gallery, IE. The EU funded project lasted from 2014 to 2017.
The Online Archive of Ars Electronica provides an overview of the individual activities of the network and also delivers information about the network itself, the residency artists and the involved project partners and the jury.

Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin

Science Gallery (IE): Science Gallery is an organisation dedicated to igniting creativity and discovery where science and art collide. Science Gallery, since opening in February 2008, has welcomed over a million visitors with over 24 exhibitions ranging from EDIBLE, which examined the future of food, to BIO-RHYTHM, which got to grips with music and the body, to INFECTIOUS, an exhibition which showcased the first ever live simulation of a pandemic using RFID technology. Science Gallery is ranked amongst the top ten free cultural attractions in Ireland and is all about opening science up to passionate debate. Uniquely located in Ireland’s leading research university, Trinity College Dublin, with a recognized expertise in astro physics and astronomy as well as a focus on public engagement with creative science, art and design.

Since 2008, Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin has steered its mission to ignite creativity and discovery where science and art collide, acting as a porous, creative membrane between the university and the wider community. We achieve this by encouraging our audience to discover, express, and pursue their passions through an everchanging program of exhibitions, events, and experiences, all vividly brought together at this dynamic, creative intersection. The cutting-edge program at Science Gallery Dublin encourages young people aged 15 to 25 to learn through their interests. Since its opening, nearly 3 million visitors to the gallery have experienced more than 40 unique exhibitions, ranging from living art experiments to artificial intelligence and from the future of the human race to the future of play. Our programs are fuelled by the expertise of scientists, researchers, students, artists, designers, inventors, creative thinkers, visionaries, entrepreneurs, and more. Our exhibitions are primarily curated through an open call, supplemented by invited and commissioned work. The work is then communicated by our staff on the floor, who are mediators in the same age bracket as our target audience. They act as the public face of the gallery, expanding on the content and allowing for peer-to-peer contact. The focus is on providing compelling experiences that allow visitors to participate, facilitating social connections, providing an element of surprise, and provoking questions to find new ways to think about big global challenges. This is supported by events and education programming as well as off-site activities, including those of our makerspace, MAKESHOP.
In 2012, Science Gallery International launched as an independent non-profit, aiming to create the world’s first university-linked network dedicated to public engagement with science and art. Their work is the activation and expansion of a vision to catalyze the creation of the world’s leading network for involving, inspiring, and transforming curious minds through science. The galleries, pop-up programs, and touring exhibitions of the Global Science Gallery Network are founded on the belief that young people hold the creative potential to tackle the world’s biggest challenges. The Network has already reached millions of 15- to 25-year-olds worldwide. In addition to Science Gallery Dublin, galleries and programs are currently in development at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, King’s College London, Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru, Michigan State University, and the University of Melbourne.
