The inspirations on works such as Quark IV, which integrates the exhibition "All Possible Path" from Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman at The Art Science Museum Singapore (2018 to 2019), are themes explored in this episode on “Art, Science and Technology”.
CIAC Talks Bangkok was recorded through the Postgraduate Program in Design at the Jacob Jensen Design Office/KMUTT Knowledge Exchange for Innovation Center (KX) in Bangkok, Thailand. The series was a collaboration between the CIAC/UAlg audiovisual team and SoA+D/KMUTT. The interviews were produced and conducted by journalist, multimedia creator, FCT-CIAC research fellow, and Digital Media-Art Ph.D. student Juliana Wexel, under the supervision of the creator and coordinator of CIAC Talks Bangkok, Mirian Tavares.
All participants in the CIAC Talks Bangkok season are closely associated with SoA+D as professors, visiting artists, and alumni, invited by one of the scientific coordinators of Cultural Adventures, Nigel Power (SoA+D/KMUTT).
The next and final episode of the series CIAC Talks Bangkok features an interview with Unchalee Anantawat, Thai graphic designer and creator of the Speedy Grandma project.
This initiative is part of the ongoing scientific and artistic research project, Cultural Adventures.
