Water is in the Air – L'Eau est dans l'Air

Interdisciplinary Workshop
Leonardo/Olats – IMéRA
Marseille June 25 - 26 2012

http://www.olats.org/studiolab/eau.php



In the framework of the European project StudioLab, 
Leonardo/Olats, in collaboration with IMéRA, is organizing a 
two day workshop on the theme "Water is in the Air".

Missing or flooding, pure or polluted, water is at the core 
of many economical, social and political issues as well as 
cultural and symbolic ones.
Water is a familiar component.
However, numerous things remain unknown regarding its 
nature, its structure, how it changes state, its presence in 
the universe, that scientists and artists are challenging 
and exploring.
This is the approach that the workshop Water is in the Air 
has decided to tackle.

Based on singular artistic and scientific projects involving 
water as case studies, in hard sciences as well as 
humanities, this workshop seeks to explore 
trans-disciplinary crossings. We will be seeking to deepen 
our understanding of how the large variety of art-science 
collaborations function today; examining the roadblocks to 
such collaborations and the new opportunities they provide. 
We also seek to develop ideas for innovative ways to work 
and engage with different kind of audiences and publics.

Among the participants : HeHe (Heiko Hansen & Helen Evans), 
Jean-Marc Chomaz, Nathalie Delprat, Monsieur Moo, Optofonica 
(Evelina Domnitch & Dmitry Gelfand), Ana Rewakowicz, Peter 
Richards, RIX-C (Rasa Smite & Raitis Smits), Javiera 
Tejerina-Risso, Patrice Le Gal, Harold Vasselin, Victoria 
Vesna, et Emmanuel Villermaux.

The workshop takes place at IMéRA, 2 place Le Verrier, 13004
