Following a two-year absence, World Science Festival Brisbane (WSFB) has returned in situ under the auspices of the Queensland Museum Network (QMN). Many of the world’s leading scientists in areas as diverse as physics, artificial intelligence, space exploration, palaeontology, the natural world and climate issues, will come together at Southbank to share knowledge and expertise while imparting hard facts about our future world.
Curiocity curator, Jay Younger, tells ArtsHub: ‘The focus of the artworks chosen is to bring art, technology and science together. The artworks are experimental and research-based and, in that way, they are aligned to scientific procedures as well as to a shared creativity. Many of the artworks have inbuilt interactivity for public engagement and some are more sensory driven.’
