atricia Olynyk’s work explores art, science, and technology-related themes that often examine the dialectics of natural and artificial, and cognition and affect. Appropriating scientific imaging technologies, her installations, photographs, and videos address how interpretation fluctuates between fact and speculation. Working across disciplines to develop “third culture” collaborations, she has programmed art, science and technology curricula, symposia and fellowships at several research institutions, including the University of Michigan, where she was the first non-scientist appointed to their Life Sciences Institute. Olynyk also co-directs the NY LASER program in New York and is former Chair of the Leonardo Education and Art Forum.

Art and Science: The Two Cultures Converging
This series of roundtables brings together artists, scientists, and scholars to explore the intersections of science, art, education, and society through themes of collaboration, interdisciplinary practice, and STEAM education. Across the discussions, participants examine how these fields inform one another, how such collaborations are formed and sustained, and how they may shape future approaches to knowledge, creativity, and learning.
