Talk: Artist Meredith Tromble in Conversation with Astrobiologist Dawn Summer

About

Curiosity & Creativity: What Makes a Successful Art/Science Collaboration?

Join us for this highly anticipated event as artist Meredith Tromble and astrobiologist Dawn Sumner give us a rare glimpse into the origins of their work together, their creative process, and what is in store for their future projects. In 2011, Sumner was part of a team that invited Tromble to play with the interactive, 3D visualization tools being developed at the University of California, Davis. The collaboration that sprang from that first visit is still going strong, having led to a series of digital artworks, sculptural installations, several performances, and four published papers. Tromble, whose work is currently on view in Umwelt at BioBAT Art Space, and Sumner, who is known for her research on early life in Antarctica and her contributions to the Mars Curiosity science team, will discuss their long-term collaboration and, in general, the ways in which artists and scientists can mutually inform each other’s work.
