Science and Art Evening

Screening/Debate/Exhibition Evening Monday, February 20, 2017, at 7 p.m., Maison des Etudiants Aimé Schoenig Richter.
Open to all – Free admission

Description:

This evening event, which will combine screenings of short film excerpts, discussions , and an exhibition of scientific images, aims to explore the relationship between two fields that may seem distant but are in fact particularly complementary: art and science.
The first part will feature two visual sequences lasting approximately 45 minutes. The first will provide an overview of issues related to counting, symmetry, and scale, while the second will focus on issues of experience and process. The screening will be followed by a discussion and a tour of an exhibition created from scientific and artistic images produced by the COSA group. The evening will conclude with a convivial cocktail reception.
The COSA group was born out of a shared desire by the Institut Charles Gerhardt Montpellier (ICGM), the Institut d'Electronique et des Systèmes (IES), the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Montpellier (ENSAM), and the Ecole Supérieure des Beaux Arts Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole (ESBAMA) to engage in reflection and experimentation on Research, science, and art, with a view to promoting joint projects at the crossroads of these themes within their respective structures.
