Reconciling Art and Science | Madeline Weir | TEDxTufts

How would the world change if artists and scientists more frequently exchanged ideas and created in collaboration? Madeline Weir reflects on her time at Arts at CERN, an artist-in-residency program at the European Center for Nuclear Research. By sharing an inside view of the way artists and scientists can work together and spark creative ideas, her talk highlights the value of interdisciplinary exchanges. Madeline Weir (she/her/hers) is a senior double majoring
in International Relations - Economics, and Film & Media
studies. She’s excited to discuss the collision of art
and science and to talk about how we need to embrace
interdisciplinary collaborations. This past summer, she
worked at CERN, the European Center for Nuclear and
Particle Physics Research. Her work there was to see
how their artists-in-residence and scientists engage with one another and inspire each other’s work. Currently, she is working for NOVA with PBS-WGBH producing documentary style media for scientific communication. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
