Basic research inspires – not only further science and applications, but also how we shape our society and our common future. In collaborations with ISTA researchers, artists and designers venture into the big new questions of their two fields and use design to tell exciting narratives and ask important questions about how we want to live.
Science and art help us to understand the world – there is immense potential in the dialog between the two disciplines.
From hands-on objects that can be used to explain scientific phenomena to more complex topics relating to new technologies and scientific findings: Through exchange and collaborations with ISTA researchers, creatives and cultural institutions, the designers of the VISTA exhibition team create new access points to science for all age groups.
“There are breathtaking ideas and creativity at ISTA – we give them shape and space.”
Mia Meus, Curator
