Kronos Quartet features “Gammified” https://t.co/9gTWvz5wcC
Blikwisseling organiseert multidisciplinaire (onderwijs-)ontmoetingen tussen de werelden van kunst, wetenschap en techniek. De achterliggende gedachte is dat echte innovatie altijd plaats vindt op het snijvlak van disciplines. Durven kijken vanuit het perspectief van de ander is de kern, dat wat relevant is voor de deelnemers ontvouwt zich vervolgens organisch tijdens deze intensieve leermomenten. De leerervaringen worden begeleid door wetenschappers van het MIT MediaLab.
The MIT MediaLab (Cambridge, US)applies an unorthodox research approach to envision the impact of emerging technologies on everyday life-technologies that promise to fundamentally transform our most basic notions of human capabilities. Unconstraint by traditional disciplines, Lab designers, engineers, artists and scientists work atelier-style: they foster a unique culture of learning by doing to design and invent new possibilities for themselves and their communities.
Held twice a year, the workshops challenge participants (students or young high professionals) with a background in Science, Applied Science or Institutes of the Arts, to question their monodisciplinary perspective during an intensive training by 2(post)doctoral scientists form the MediaLab.
Blikwisseling offers different, new perspectives by incorporating skills and ideas and pushing boundaries by boosting confidence. In chosing multidisciplinary approaches -where no rules or methods are dictated- insight is developed and feelings of trust and utter freedom strenghtened: an excellent basis for future interdisciplinary ways of thinking.
Blikwisseling workshops favour freedom: for each one only the theme is given - by the host. Paths and destinations are however unknown. In keeping with Blikwisseling's philosophy: they have to be.
Blikwisseling 2014 (1) workshop is hosted by Radboud University Nijmegen i.c. Prof Dr Theo Rasing (Experimental Physics) and Prof Dr Jan van Hest (Organic Chemistry).
Grants (a 1500 euros) for excellent students are available.
