SCIENCE investigates the unexpected intersection between art and the sciences, spanning technology, engineering, biology, math, and the climate emergency. Nature, space, algorithms, and more serve as inspiration for artists connecting their work to the world around them, from the Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico to the computer science labs of MIT to NASA.
The featured artists include John Luebtow, Joan Takayama-Ogawa, Karen Nyberg, Joseph and Sergio Youngblood Lugo, Erik and Martin Demaine and Chris Maynard.
COLLECTORS reveals the essential role that craft appreciators play in the community, examining how collectors affirm and inspire the artists they support.
