CHAIRS: Elizabeth Demaray

On October 4th, 2019, the Zimmerli Art Museum will become a hub for art and science collaboration when it hosts its second LASER, or Leonardo Art Science Rendezvous, of the semester. These international meetups are a platform for cross-disciplinary exchange and collaboration across the arts, sciences, and technology. Rutgers’ LASER aims to illuminate the extraordinary research and applied practice taking place across New Jersey in our laboratories, studios, libraries and classrooms.

Inspired by the traveling exhibition Dimensionsim: Modern Art in the Age of Einstein, LASER Panel: Culture & Technology is the first half of an all-day symposium at the Zimmerli that brings together artists, physicists, philosophers, mathematicians, and others, to grapple with the topics of “Technology & Culture” and “Chance.” Moderated by Ellen Levy and Charles Keeton, the panels are composed of Rutgers faculty who embody these progressive approaches at our university.
