About DASER

DC Art Science Evening Rendezvous (DASER) is organized to explore several key questions: What are the relationships among art, science, technology, culture, and all related disciplines or systems of understanding? How do these disciplines relate to one another to foster creativity, innovation, and discovery? What are the tangible results of these interactions? DASER aims to create community and discussion around the intersection of art and science.

DASER is organized by Cultural Programs of the National Academy of Sciences in collaboration with Leonardo, the International Society for the Arts, Sciences, and Technology. The thoughts and opinions expressed in the DASER events are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the positions of the National Academy of Sciences or of Leonardo.

Photo ID Requirement - This is an in-person event with the option to watch the recording afterwards. A government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license or passport) is required to enter the building. Masks are optional.

SPONSORS:

Generous support for Blue Dreams was provided by Schmidt Ocean Institute.
