Between April 2025 and December 2026, Art Laboratory Berlin is unfolding the new innovative project CHRYSALIS. ARTISTS IN LABS with an interdisciplinary exchange between art and science in Berlin science laboratories, supported by Lottostiftung Berlin: Artist-in-lab residencies for four internationally recognized, Berlin-based artists – Helena Nikonole, Julius Holtz, Sybille Neumeyer, and Margherita Pevere. The four chosen artists are all well known for their outstanding artistic research at the interface of art, science, and technology. Each is highly experienced in integrating art with new technologies and collaborating with scientists in fields such as neuroscience, artificial intelligence, climate science, soil ecology, and biodiversity. We expect strong outcomes in transdisciplinary knowledge transfer, artistic research, art science communication, and some new artworks critically highlighting 21st-century innovations. More information HERE.
Join us at our next event ARTIST SCIENTIST DIALOGUE at Art Laboratory Berlin (date TBA). There will be presentations from and discussions with artist Sybille Neumeyer and biologists Prof. Dr. Matthias Rillig, Prof. Dr. India Mansour, and Dr. Alvaro Rodriguez del Rio, Freie Universität Berlin (concrete date and more information – coming soon).
