Leonardo LASER Talks Linz Lab Songs Vol. III – Sobremesas
Curated by Fabricio Lamoncha
Leonardo LASER is an international program that brings together artists, scientists, academics, and the public to share their work and inspire one another through presentations, performances, and discussions. Our recurring LASER series ‘Lab Songs’ explores evolving cultures of experimentation. Scientific and artistic breakthroughs arise not only from discoveries, but from transformations in practices, methodologies, and systems of care. As a result, laboratories are increasingly reimagined as spaces where aesthetic, techno logical, ecological, and theoretical forms of knowledge come into proximity. For this year’s ‘Sobremesas’, we gather around the dining table as a site of encounter. Much like the laboratory, it is a place where experiences are shared, differences remain present, and knowledge is collectively digested. Join us in celebrating the conversations, relationships, and acts of care through which new understandings emerge, and unexpected encounters unfold.
