ARTIST’S STUDIO TOUR: REBECCA KAMEN | CURIOSITY AND THE CREATIVE PROCESS: RE-IMAGINING SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY
April 30 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm EDT

“I never made a painting as a work of art, it’s all research.” – Pablo Picasso

This presentation will explore curiosity, discovery, and the creative process
as a new lens for re-imagining scientific discovery. The artwork presented will celebrate research as a spark for inspiration, as a journey for discovery, and a catalyst for making the invisible, visible.

The creation of my work starts with curiosity and the process of qualitative inquiry. Through scientific research and dialogues with scientists and historians, I analyze what I am understanding, and communicate my observations and discoveries through art.

Collaborations with other artists such as dancers, poets, and musicians have also played a significant role in the development of the work, providing new and dynamic ways to interpret science. Each project is multi-referential in terms of the connections it creates between various scientific fields, historical, and cultural references.

Also discussed will be a new collaborative project with scientists at the University of Pennsylvania and American University investigating curiosity, cognition and the creative process. One component of this project utilizes data visualization and animation to reveal the process of acquisition of knowledge networks over time in the development of my work.
