S1E5 Luiza Bengtsson - Art for Science Communication

Open Science Stories

Luiza Bengtsson presents a story about an art-science collaboration conducted to explore the future of genome editing. The story showcases the opportunities and the difficulties of interdisciplinary work, particularly when emotions (art) are used to make scientific research tangible.

The artist Emilia Tikka spent three months in the Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine research labs to research and create a proof-of-concept for her art piece. The result: “ÆON – Trajectories of Longevity and CRISPR“ has been enthusiastically received by audiences in Berlin, Cambridge and Stockholm and has served as a discussion primer for an European public dialog on genome editing.

The art-science project was a collaboration between the Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine and the STATE Studio in the framework of the EU-funded Project ORION for promoting Open Science.
