THE WORK IN STEAM {...} REVEALS NEW WAYS TO SEE OUR WORLD, CONTEMPLATING THE GREAT POSSIBILITY OF TECHNOLOGY, WHILE WARNING OF ITS DANGERS, AND BEARING WITNESS TO ITS OVERREACH.





FROM THE CURATOR


Inspired by the STEM to STEAM dialogue in education, this exhibition showcases artists using the interdisciplinary concepts of STEM to explore how science, technology and art overlap, interact, and innovate. Presenting imaginative possibilities that are poetic and pragmatic, aesthetic and forward-thinking, each artist brings a reflective and often transformational perspective to our complex world through the questioning language of art.


The educational core curriculum known as STEM- science, technology, engineering and math, is today being challenged to include the arts, to make STEAM. Art and technology have been intertwined throughout history through


the realization of idea into concrete form. Both scientists and artists imagine new possibilities in the world. Scientists develop technologies that artists quickly adapt; from hand tools to machines, Leonardo’s pigments to the invention of the printing press, from the first camera to today’s digital artists. Artists propose ideas that are yet to be realized, calculating probabilities, engineering solutions, freely imagining worlds yet to exist. Both scientists and artists bring impossible dreams to life. Today, artists and scientists, together and apart, are imagining, investigating, innovating, collaborating, experi- menting, creating, and problem-solving, with the interdisciplinary attitude today’s world demands.
