Workshop SKYPELAB Rio >< Reutlingen 2017
Skypelab is an art and research widely recognized project conceived
in 2012 by Henning Eichinger (Germany) and Maggie McCormick (Australia). The project is part of the ‘Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM for
University Students – BWS plus’, a program of the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung
for international exchange.
In its third round, Skypelab explores the role of drawing and portraiture in identity perception within the public space of Skype sessions, embracing cultures apart by oceans and delineating transcontinental networks of students of art and researchers.

In the biennium 2016-2017 the project established a partnership between the University of Reutlingen (Henning Eichinger) and the Federal
University of Rio de Janeiro (Maira Fróes), connecting Rio and Reutlingen through students
and researchers, many of them interested in exploring the association of artistic
and scientific processes.
The composition of the brazilian team represents this delicate
association, involving researchers of the joint Laboratories of Advanced Methods
and Epistemology (LAMAE) at the Institute Tercio Pacitti of Computational
Applications and Research, the Nucleus of Art and New Organisms (NANO) at the
School of Fine Arts, and the Laboratory of Computational Methods in Engineering
(LAMCE) at the Technology Center, all carrying
their respective graduate programs represented by Program of History of Sciences
and Technics and Epistemology (HCTE), Program of Visual Arts (PPGAV) and the
Coordination of Engineering Graduate Programs (COPPE), at Federal University of
Rio de Janeiro.
Drawings raised from brazilians-germans pairings, as well as the telematic contact per se, unfolded into works of contemporary
art, as expected. In addition, biophysical records, obtained from brazilian participants by means of
biological sensors, have enlarged the dimensions of body presence,
an aspect also explored at the perspective of science.
The many results raised by our transcontinental team will be presented in the opportunity of our
workshop, during which artists and non-artists from both sides will open their
processes and creative propositions.
We open to public visitation and participation on June 6
(Tuesday), as detailed below. The entrance to public is free, no applications
are required.

Salzburg Session 547 calendar and intro highlights
Concluding remarks
Session 547 Neuroscience and Arts came to an exciting and optimistic end on Thursday February 26.
After hammering out their resolutions and preparing their presentations in the morning, the focus groups reported to the final gathering of Fellows in Parker Hall. One key theme emerging from the conclusions was how to improve collaboration between scientists and artists.
After hammering out their resolutions and preparing their presentations in the morning, the focus groups reported to the final gathering of Fellows in Parker Hall. One key theme emerging from the conclusions was how to improve collaboration between scientists and artists.
Here are some of the main points:
One group proposed forming imagination hubs, or incubators, where scientists and artists can be free to inhabit each other's space and, as one Fellow put it, "hang out, but in a deep way".
Fostering better relations between scientists and artists was a thread picked up by a number of focus groups. One suggested mirroring artist-in-residence programs by setting up arrangements for visiting scientists and scientist residencies in art departments to allow artists deeper access to scientific discovery, and interpret it to the wider world through various media.
Fellows stressed the importance of finding ways to bring the fruits of artistic and scientific collaboration to mass audiences. An interdisciplinary journal documenting and analyzing such collaborations was proposed, on the condition that it be open-access to allow as many people as possible to read it.
It was also emphasized that the results of collaborations have an impact on wider communities. One Fellow shared an ambition to use theatre to create a study of how actors generate and audiences receive emotion, and use the findings to improve community relations in a depressed and violent neighborhood.
The final group to present provided a platform for Fellows to continue to grow and develop their newly-formed networks through a new blog, to run initially for three months with ambitions to continue. The blog would be a platform for continuing the discussions held at Salzburg Global, linking to resources and pitching new ideas to each other. After three months, the Fellow deemed to have contributed most to public engagement with art/science collaborations would be awarded a special prize.
It is testament to the energy and enthusiasm of these session Fellows that a number stayed in Parker Hall to continue talking about their plans for nearly an hour after the close of proceedings, and many more bounced ideas off each other during dinner. The Fellows made commitments to decide how to collaborate with each other before they left, and Salzburg Global looks forward to sharing the results of their partnerships as they develop.
