Science Seminar: Emergence 

September 28, 2018 Science Seminar at TRIUMF

The third stage of the experiment was launched on September 28, 2018 with the Science Seminar at TRIUMF. Designated artists and scholars attended a four hour event learning about the science topic from TRIUMF physicists, asked questions, and started to engage in conversation with their transdisciplinary team members. A series of team meetings over a period of 8-10 months ensued, artistic production began, continuing until September 2019, with conversations, knowledge sharing, field trips, lab and studio visits.
