On the final day of the Lee Boot: Abstracts & Artifacts exhibition, Lee leads a roundtable discussion integrating the arts and sciences to address significant societal challenges. Despite decades and even centuries of the astounding progress science has provided toward extending and improving human life, we now live in a time when science alone has proven insufficient. Preventable hazards such as global warming, vaccine hesitancy, poor educational achievement, and many others emerge from cultural narratives that resist technical solutions and scientific reason. This panel of artists and scientists/engineers has significant experience working together to effect cultural change by integrating the best practices of science with artistic traditions that can expand imagination, locate human meaning, and navigate culture. Featured speakers:
- Lee Boot (artist)
- Anita Komlodi (scientist)
- Tristan King (engineer)
- Tahir Hemphill (artist)
- Steve Bradley (artist)
- Eric Schott (scientist)
- Ryan Zuber (technical artist)
*ASL Interpretation is available with this event.
