in her article Are Artists the New Interpreters of Scientific
Innovation? “In this innovation-hungry age of TED Talks and
Silicon Valley, every company seems to be launching an experimental lab that is
meant to foster innovation through the cross-fertilization of ideas in a
variety of disciplines, including the creative arts.” Historically too, some of
the greatest artists have been keenly involved in the sciences, taking
inspiration from scientific principles and figures of science. Keeping
this in mind, Piramal Art Residency invites artists to engage with science as a
tool, medium and stimulant. ?
