ORIGIN Symposium III

Day 2 of the ORIGIN Symposium gets underway with Humberto Maturana (CL), the man who developed the theory of autopoeisis and a key collaborator on the concepts of radical constructivism. In his capacity as neurobiologist and philosopher, he will treat the question of the preconditions for innovation to occur. How to create and manage the framework circumstances necessary to do good science and nurture innovation will be the subject of a conversation between CERN Director General Rolf Heuer (DE/CH) and Joichi Ito (JP/US), the new director of the MIT Media Lab. Roger Malina, Ursula Damm (DE) and Ariane Koek (UK/CH) will talk about the connections between art and science as well as what sets them apart. Roger Malina (FR) is one of the pioneers of art-science collaboration. Ursula Damm is an artist who has made considerable inroads into the scientific domain and consistently taken an artistic approach to doing so. Ariane Koek has launched a major new artist-in-residence program at CERN.
