During each meeting of LASER Paris, two artists and two scientists present and discuss their work. Each time, one of those "duos" is a project supported by La Diagonale Paris-Saclay. For this year 2017, the topic of anthropocene is a runing thread: for each meeting, at least one participant will be an artist or a scientist whose work is adressing this theme. And, as is usual in a LASER talk, the floor will be given to the audience during the discussions and with a specific time for its own announcements.

Free entrance in the limit of available seats, registration required (https://tinyurl.com/lhnzup9)
NOTE : It will be in French

LASER Paris is graciously sponsored by Leonardo / Olats, The Diagonale Paris-Saclay and The Endowment Fund Agnes B.
