The artist gets in touch with one, two or more research groups of the
Bernstein Network to get a grasp of their scientific approach. The aim of the
project is to generate a productive mutual exchange of ideas and perspectives
between the artist and the researchers in the Bernstein Network. If requested,
the Bernstein Coordination Site (BCOS) will be happy to assist in finding a
suitable match for the artist’s ideas.
The selected artist should develop a piece of art, which will be showcased at
the Bernstein Conference 2018 in Berlin (September 25-28, 2018) and s/he will
