With the enthusiastic reception of the Cosmos Archaeology Exhibition, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our Cosmic Dialogues series. These dialogues will feature the talented artists of the Cosmos Archaeology Exhibition and the scientists of space science, who will unveil the mysteries behind their captivating art-science creations.  For the inaugural Cosmic Dialogue, we will invite the Co-Curator of Cosmos Archaeology Exhibition – Iris Long as the moderator, joined by the artist duos Semiconductor and Quadrature, who delve into the complex interplay between science, technology, and art in this dynamic panel discussion.

Semiconductor, consisting of UK artists Ruth Jarman and Joe Gerhardt, is renowned for their thorough research and transformative use of scientific data to create impressive sculptures, moving images, and drawings. Their work challenges us to broaden our perceptions of reality and to question our role as observers of the natural world. Quadrature is composed of Juliane Götz, Sebastian Neitsch, and formerly Jan Bernstein (until 2016). Their art notably embodies intricate and transdisciplinary methods, interwoven with narratives that explore our universe, seamlessly blending elemental emotions with advanced scientific theories.

During this Cosmic Dialogue, we will have the privilege of gaining deep insights into the creative processes of these remarkable artists, the advanced technological tools they employ, and the thematic connections within their groundbreaking artworks. Moreover, we will explore how both artist duos utilize technology as a medium to bridge the gap between the tangible and intangible, converting scientific data into poetic and engaging art pieces. We will probe into their approaches to processing and interacting with scientific data, as well as the stories behind their collaborations with scientists. This discussion will reveal how art can expand our perceptions and engage us in profound scientific and philosophical inquiries.

We look forward to your participation in exploring how these artists integrate science and technology into their creative endeavors, while constantly pushing the boundaries of what art can achieve in the cosmos.
