Talk
Karine Van Doninck
Drawing on her experience as a biologist and the collaborations she has undertaken with artists within her laboratory, Karine Van Doninck will explore how artistic practices can enrich and transform scientific research itself. How do these collaborations influence the questions asked, the methods employed and the new perspectives opened up? A reflection on the role of creativity and transdisciplinarity in the production of new knowledge.
Karine Van Doninck is a professor at the ULB and founder of the Molecular Biology and Evolution Research Unit. She studies the evolutionary mechanisms of living organisms, particularly bdelloid rotifers and their adaptations to extreme environments. A firm believer in the potential of transdisciplinarity, she regularly welcomes artists into her laboratory and is a leading academic figure in the dialogue between the arts and sciences.
