ODAC4

Come join us in this session to discuss both astronomy-inspired art, and astronomy communication and outreach inspired by art.This session will explore the intersectionality of Art and (planetary) Science from both directions.

Not limited to any rules, interrogating us about our own nature, providing emotional and intellectual insights, impacting the masses and challenging the status quo, Art is the universal language of the people.
On the other hand, defined by clear rules and laws, invariable across time and space, described by ideas, concepts and mathematics more than words, Science is the universal language of our world and universe.

The scope is broad. For instance:
Artists are invited to display their science-inspired or science-driven projects and art pieces, and explain their creative process: why did they choose a specific approach, a specific media, or a specific way to represent a concept.
Scientists are invited to present data visualisation or sonification techniques - projects where art has been generated directly by the science and its components, either by design or by a happy accident.
Science communicators and educators are invited to showcase how they use art to impact various publics, and to inspire the next generation of scientists.

From painting to sculpture, from infographics and video content to generative AI, from video games to music, from photos to comics, all arts and media are welcome to this session.
