Am Puls der Zeit zu sein, Zukunftsthemen mit WissenschafterInnen und KünstlerInnen zu diskutieren, zählt zu den Kernaufgaben von GLOBART.Diese exklusive, hochkarätige Veranstaltung ist ein jährlicher Treffpunkt für EntscheidungsträgerInnen, ein Ort der Begegnung und der Inspiration.

Idee

Die GLOBART Talks sollen mit einem interdisziplinären Anspruch eine Gesprächsserie bilden, in der Ideen für ein gelingendes Leben vorgestellt und diskutiert werden. Weltweit machen sich KünstlerInnen, PhilosophInnen, DesignerInnen und ÖkologInnen Gedanken darüber, wie ein richtiges Leben in der Zukunft aussehen kann. Die besten Köpfe werden eingeladen, um uns Ihre Ideen zu präsentieren.Diese Veranstaltungsreihe findet in Kooperation mit dem Naturhistorischen Museum Wien statt.

Perspektivenwechsel: Wissenschaft über Kunst / Kunst über Wissenschaft

Naturhistrorisches Museum Wien

‍Die Grenze zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft ist relativ jung. Lichtgestalten wie Leondardo Da Vinci, Maria Sibylla Merian oder Johann Wolfgang von Goethe arbeiteten noch selbstverständlich künstlerisch und wissenschaftlich und zumindest seit dem 18. Jahrhundert wurde die Grenze zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft auch theoretisch infrage gestellt. In jüngerer Zeit hat der Philosoph Nelson Goodman das Erkenntnispotential der Kunst unterstrichen und auch die Rolle der Ästhetik in der Wissenschaften ist ins Bewusstsein gerückt. Konkret bleiben die Beziehungen jedoch oft oberflächlich, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. KünstlerInnen machen wissenschaftliche Ergebnisse zum konzeptuellen Mehrwert ihrer Arbeiten, ohne sie zu verstehen oder spielen mit wissenschaftlichen Formen. WissenschaftlerInnen setzen das Ästhetische mit dem Künstlerischen gleich und nehmen damit nur das Dekorative an der Kunst wahr. Wie werden solche Prozesse erlebt? Ist so ein Perspektivenwechsel möglich?

Antonella Nota

Science is no more than an investigation of a miracle we can never explain and art is an interpretation of that miracle.Artists provide that extra dimension to our rational look at data. In the beginning it was for us at ESA foreign territory.

Klaus Speidel

We need to find ways to drive engagement with science that go beyond visualization or illustration. The difficulty is to engage with the science topics heads-on rather than becoming purely poetic or suggestive, which is often a way of begging the question rather than answering it.The role of art is not merely to illustrate scientific theories or to make researcher’s results look prettier for presentations, but to critically engage with them.

Victoria Vesna

(With my art) I want them to feel (…). It is going to be a completely different feeling and experience. It should be in classrooms, even in these kind of events, we are talking a lot, but we should experience together, not sitting here while you are listening.Get into the inbetween sweet space, where it is neither. You don´t even know what is the art world, the scientist going to think. But you don´t care cause you are getting to something, to a sense of wonder and curiosity, that we all share, and that connects art and science.

‍Naturhistorisches Museum Wien Burgring 7, 1010 WienModeration: Friedrich von BorriesIm Gespräch: Katrien Kolenberg, Björn Dahlem,René WaclavicekExpertInnengespräch in englischer SpracheDer Wunsch, das Universum zu begreifen, ist so alt wie die Menschheit selbst. Der GLOBART Talk "Flucht ins All" hat drei unterschiedliche Zugänge aufgezeigt, dieses Unbekannte zu fassen.Wie interdisziplinär die Suche nach unserem Platz im Universum sein kann, zeigte die Astrophysikerin Katrien Kolenberg, die in ihre wissenschaftliche Arbeit sowohl künstlerische als auch musikalische Perspektiven einfließen lässt. René Waclavicek gewährte einen Einblick in seine Arbeit als Weltraumarchitekt und fütterte zugleich unsere Neugier sowie unser Verständnis von den für die Erforschung des Weltraums verfügbaren Technologien. Der Künstler Björn Dahlem ließ uns sehr anschaulich an seiner tiefen Faszination für das All teilhaben, die er in großformatige Installationen übersetzt. Motivation findet er dabei in kosmischen Motiven wie Galaxien, Superclustern und Schwarzen Löchern.

Katrien Kolenberg

Astrophysics helps us to put our own existence into context, and I am convinced that such a cosmic perspective is very beneficial for humankind.Cross-pollination with other disciplines can only deepen/sharpen our cosmic awareness/perspective. This is why I favor bringing together science and art, and why - in my own life - I have been unable to disentangle the different approaches.The universe is under no obligation to make sense of us. But we will try, be stubborn, we will be curious.

Björn Dahlem

To me as an artist, the universe is mainly a mental space formed by culture. It is the architecture of the world, housing a complex structure of scientific data, theories as well as our personal desires and cultural fictions.The idea to explain the universe only by technical, physical theories and ideas is in itself a metaphysical approach.

René Waclavicek

Why should we go to space? Humankind is a species of adventures and explorers. I wouldn't see any reason to stop now and don't explore our universe.

[:en]To keep pace with the time, to discuss future topics with scientists and artists, is the core task of GLOBART.This exclusive, top-class event is an annual venue for decision- makers, a place for interaction and inspiration.

Idea

The GLOBART Talks aim to form a series of interdisciplinary and sophisticated discussions in which new ideas for a successful lifestyle are introduced. All over the world, artists, philosophers, designers and ecologists try to find answers to the question what life could look like in the future. The most inspirational thinkers are then invited in order to present their ideas.This event series takes place in cooperation with Natural History Museum Vienna.

The frontier between art and science is relatively young. Shining figures like Leonardo Da Vinci, Maria Sibylla Merian or Johann Wolfgang von Goethe still worked artistically and scientifically without seeing it as odd. Since at least the 18th century, the emerging frontier between science and art has been regularly called into question. More recently, the philosopher Nelson Goodman insisted on the cognitive potential of art and the role of aesthetics for science has been recognized more widely. However, the relationships often remain superficial, in the true sense of the word. Artists take up scientific results as a conceptual ad-on for their creations or play with forms produced in science, without really understanding them. Scientists often believe that art equals the aesthetic, and thus only perceive the decorative aspect of art.

The wish to understand the Universe is as old as humankind. The GLOBART Talk “Escape to space” offered three alternative approaches that shed light on the unknown.Astrophysicist Katrien Kolenberg intertwined her scientific work with artistic perspectives to help us look for our place in the Universe. René Waclavicek allowed insight into his daily work as a space architect and used a rational mind set to establish our understanding of technology available to explore space. Artist Björn Dahlem shared his deep fascination for space through his installations, which are motivated by cosmological motives like galaxies, superclusters and black holes.
