Weaving Hybridity: Evolving Transdisciplinary, Transgenerational and Transcultural Bridging

Abstract

The past decades have witnessed increased collaborations between art and science; Yet, there is emerging innovation anxiety: did Silicon Valley create more problems than it solved? This Leonardo/ISAST panel offers a view of new developments involving a close look at the interstices between both disciplines and cultures. Held as a roundtable discussion, this panel considers how specific works in art and science productively intertwine, and in some cases, impact social and environmental issues in desirable ways. Might this proposed benefit also apply to a variety of geographical locations and cultures? We share the growing anxiety about the way that 8 billion humans are dominating too many ecosystems and launching new technologies, such as AI, without exploring the springs and sinkholes of Truths and Consequences.

Today’s growing hybrid cultures are by now international, inter-generational networks. Leonardo welcomes artists, historians, scientists, curators, and scholars to be part of this interchange at CAA.
