Science and Art Evening

Film Screening / Discussion / Exhibition
Monday, February 20, 2017, at 7:00 p.m., Maison des Etudiants Aimé Schoenig Richter.
Open to the public – Free admission

Description:

This evening event, which will combine screenings of short film excerpts, a discussion , and an exhibition of scientific images, aims to explore the relationship between two fields that, at first glance, seem distant but are in fact particularly complementary: Art and Science.
The first part of the program will feature two visual sequences, each lasting approximately 45 minutes. The first will provide an overview of issues related to counting, symmetry, and scale, while the second will focus on questions of experience and process. The screening will be followed by a discussion, accompanied by a tour of an exhibition featuring scientific and artistic images created by the COSA group. A casual cocktail reception will conclude the evening.
The COSA group was born out of a shared commitment by the Charles Gerhardt Institute of Montpellier (ICGM), the Institute of Electronics and Systems (IES), the National School of Architecture of Montpellier (ENSAM), and the Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole School of Fine Arts (ESBAMA) to engage in reflection and experimentation on Research, Science, and Art, with the aim of fostering joint projects at the intersection of these themes within their respective institutions.
