Bridging Art & Science at LASERZURICH
Dive into LASER Talks and be part of groundbreaking conversations that unite art and science.
WELCOME TO LASER
Sharing Themes Commonizes the Culture
LASERZURICH is a creative incubator bridging the arts and sciences. We provide a platform for public dialogue, emphasizing intersections and fostering mutual understanding. Our goal is to facilitate discussions that not only highlight new inventions and discoveries but also delve into evolving ideas challenging to articulate even within their native disciplines.
By partnering with social scientists at Life Science Zurich, we’ve developed a research approach that’s experiential, educational, and playful. This collaboration yields both publications and specialized community events.
We champion equal opportunities, human rights, and environmental justice. Our diverse lineup of speakers includes artists with experience in scientific labs and those aligned with current scientific research.
ABOUT
LASER ZURICH is…
- a warm psychological environment with food and drinks, to foster collaborations and discourses between artists, designers, science researchers and communication theorists.
- a place where people are more important than their disciplines.
- a place where art or science or communication are not seen as separate social entities.
- a place where “hands-on” tacit knowledge has cultural significance.
- a place where bottom-up approaches to experiment building are valued.
