“Science is a fundamentally creative practice.”
Insights from the fields of basic research often take years until they reach the day-to-day of the general public. Therefore, the Institute of Science and Technology Austria opens itself up to a new generation of interdisciplinary collaborations: Convergences between Art, Science, Design and Technology create new discourse and access to cutting-edge 21st century science.
Once a year, ISTA offers creative professionals the opportunity to spend 3-6 months in intensive exchange with scientists from the institute, to work on exciting projects and to further develop their own concepts in the field of science and technology.

During the Artist Residency 2023, the artists Daniela Brill Estrada (COL) and Shailesh BR (IND) gained extensive insights into laboratories and research projects and, together with researchers from biology to soft matter physics, posed exciting questions. They translated excerpts of these exchanges into installations and research diary-like collages and installations that were on view in the exhibition Roots and Trajectories in July 2023.
