Friday, 15 October 2021 LOOSE CELLS – Is there any art in science or is there science in art?

Urban Kavka, a student of the Master's study programme Sustainable Built Environment, and one of the authors of the LOOSE CELLS project, reflects on what happens when science, art and technology come together.

This is what the project Loose cells - Innovating at the Crossfield of Art and Science, is all about. It is an art-science object designed by students, under the guidance of mentors, researchers, artists, producers and curators, in the laboratories of the InnoRenew CoE Institute and Department of Information Sciences and Technologies UP FAMNIT at their disposal.

“This art-science object was set to speak for the social starting points of art and science collaboration. Such starting points tend to be critical in social discussions, like climate change, sustainability, human-nature-technology relationships or rising sea-levels.”, writes Urban Kavka.

So far, the object has been exhibited at three locations, namely in Izola, Kamnik and Koper, and will be presented to the public in Nova Gorica.

The LOOSE CELLS project partners are InnoRenew CoE, University of Primorska, University of Nova Gorica’s School of Arts, and the association PiNA. The project was supported by Municipality of Izola and Center for culture, sports and events of Izola.
