Keynote Talk: Endangered Species: The Loss of Biodiversity and the Cultural Landscape

The workshops on 25 September are running parallel! Please chose your favourite when you register.

1^st Workshop: Sciences and Arts

The aim of the workshop is to develop a project outline for a format at the interface of art and science. The main focus will be on approaching suitable cooperation partners, planning documentation, acquiring funding, presentation (exhibition, book, website, etc.) and personnel planning. The participants draft concepts on which feedback is then given in divided roles. The participants each take on the role of a scientist, artist, organiser or visitor and assess the presented concepts for originality, validity and feasibility.

2^nd Workshop: Visualizations for Science

The participants will get an introduction into the concept of sketchnoting as well as the wide range of applications for it. We will be training the development of a personal visual vocab list and will be taking home the very same. With artistic examples we will have a further look on how visual tools can become illustrations or infographs. Through little exercises we will attempt on thinking like a designer to apply "a bit of art on science" to make it look more interesting but underlining the important facts.
