LASER 13 - Imaginaries in Changing Climates



March 25th, 2024

Brice Ammar-Khodja will moderate a discussion between artists and scientists Martin Beauregard, Sandeep Bhagwati, Carly Ziter, Ana Rewakowicz in the frame of Rencontres Interdisciplinaires d’Hexagram. 
LASER (Leonardo ArtScience Evening RendezVous) by Leonardo/The International Society for the Arts, Sciences and Technology (ISAST) is an international program that brings together artists, scientists, humanists and technologists for informal presentations, performances and conversations with audiences. LASER's mission is to contribute to the cultural environment of a region by fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and community development opportunities in more than 40 cities around the world.
The focus of LASER 13 is to counter dominant doom-and-gloom discourse about climate change, notwithstanding the urgent need to act in this complex situation. How can concerns, local and global, spatial and temporal, provide imaginative explorations through physical experimentations, enabling boundary processes in each field to be pushed? How do interdisciplinary alliances between fields foster new platforms for challenges, dialogues, and reflections?
