The program supported by the Center for Consciousness and Transformation explores similarities and differences in how scientists and artists use experimentation and visualization in their search for larger truths and making sense of the universe, and how the way in which these tools are used affects consciousness, understanding and outcome. This dialog is also designed to prepare us for a series of "laboratory/studio" exchanges in which artists will be invited to observe and participate in laboratory sessions and scientists will be invited into artist's studios for collaborative projects.
