Event information

Short description:

How to collaborate with artists and designers without frustration, misunderstandings, or endless rework? In this masterclass, you'll discover what information they need to transform your science into a powerful visual work, how to prepare a truly effective brief, and how to give useful feedback that propels the creative process. We'll explore examples of co-creation between artists and scientific institutions and how these collaborations transformed the way these organizations communicate and work.

What will you learn?

You'll learn to clearly communicate your vision, values, and objectives so that an artist or designer can interpret and enhance them. You'll see what to include and what to avoid in a brief, how to set realistic expectations, and how to manage communication during the creative process. You'll learn methods for giving constructive feedback that improves the outcome without stifling creativity. We'll also analyze real-world cases to understand what the artistic or design work contributed to the institutions and what results it generated.

For whom:

If you are a scientist considering working with artists or designers to communicate your research, develop visual materials, or create innovative experiences, this masterclass is for you.

This masterclass is also suitable for:

If you are a communications professional, a project manager for scientific projects, a member of a museum or cultural institution team, or anyone involved in co-creation processes between science and art, this masterclass will also be useful.
