Dialogues for Tomorrow – Gerald Bast in Conversation
Series of discussions
in the Angewandte Interdisciplinary Lab
To be able to grasp the complexity of today’s societal
challenges, we need multiple perspectives and methods. A critical approach to the present requires more than a singular perspective,
it needs the interdisciplinary approach of artistic and scientific research to create a better understanding and come up with
solutions for the future.
Gerald Bast, rector of the University of Applied Arts Vienna, invites
artists and experts to the new Café Exchange for the open discussion series Dialogues for Tomorrow. The interdisciplinary
conversations will cover topics from the field of art, science, culture, technology and politics and give audiences a chance
to join the discussion.
