How science inspires art and art inspires science?

Описание: The arts and sciences are interconnected spheres of human exploration and expression. They complement and inspire each other, which opens doors to new perspectives, uncharted territories, and endless possibilities for human creativity and intellectual growth.

"Anastomosal Science" by Marjolein Pijnappels from Wondermash (The Netherlands)
Science doesn’t take place in isolation. It is a never-ending process of truth-finding, of saying something substantial about the world around us, and is influenced by that very world, and by us. Marjolein Pijnappels, MSc will talk about her co-emerging practice as a futures ecologist who entangles science with art and myth.

"The Anteater’s Culinary Guide" by Ofer Feinerman from Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel)
One of the most spectacular of any of this world’s animals is closer than you think, in fact, right below your feet. Ants are not only fascinating but also highly approachable. Our comic book tells the tale of a young girl and her visitor – the hungry anteater. These two draw the reader from her familiar neighborhood environment into the tiny world of the ants. As the characters become curious about the ants we encourage the reader to go out and experience the same through their own eyes. The graphic novel is interspersed with tens of ideas for open-ended experiments. These are aimed at introducing the reader to the local species and their behavior and more generally, to the scientific process and independent thought.
