The artist gets in touch with one, two or more research groups of the  Bernstein Network to get a grasp of their scientific approach. The aim  of the project is to generate a productive mutual exchange of ideas and  perspectives between the artist and the researchers in the Bernstein  Network. If requested, the Bernstein Coordination Site (BCOS) will be  happy to assist in finding a suitable match for the artist’s ideas.
 

The selected artist should develop a piece of art, which will be  showcased at the Bernstein Conference 2018 in Berlin (September 25-28,  2018) and s/he will commit her/ himself to actively participate in a  panel discussion together with the participating researchers as well as  experts from art history, philosophy and ethics.
