Cynthia Pannucci

Cynthia’s background is in Fine Arts, with a major in Printmaking and a minor in Art History. As a professional artist, her career embraced printmaking, textiles, mixed-media, photography, and interactive sculpture with artwork exhibited at The American Craft and Cooper-Hewitt museums in New York City, and commissions from Citicorp, The Discovery Museum in Bridgeport, CT; The Staten Island Children’s Museum, and the NYC Metropolitan Transit Authority. In 1988, Cynthia founded Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI) and is responsible for creating most of the pioneering art-sci programming (symposia, public panels, exhibitions, and projects) that were instrumental in revitalizing the “art & technology” movement in the United States during the 1990’s. ASCI’s four international ArtSci Symposia on collaboration [1998-2002] ended with a new focus on “art-science” and since 2006, ASCI’s annual, international competition exhibitions held at the New York Hall of Science have been inspired by science themes and co-jurored by one art and one science expert (a new idea at the time). ASCI’s event partners have included: The American Museum of Natural History, the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, Liberty Science Center, New York Hall of Science, and The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art.
