GESDA - Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator’s Post

👀 A sneak peek into GESDA’s art exhibition “When Science Meets Imagination: Exploring the Future Through Art” At the #GESDASummit, we placed artistic perspectives at the core of science diplomacy. Through the pilot initiative “Culture as a Lens for Science”, artists and scientists come together to explore how creativity can illuminate complex scientific frontiers, making the future more tangible, emotional, and shared. Hosted at the Globe of Science and Innovation at CERN, the exhibition features four remarkable works - spanning quantum computing, digital well-being, and ecological memory - alongside a selection of public AI-generated visions of the future from the Swiss Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka: 🔹 “Manchar Ecological Decline” by Muhammad Bux Mangi (Pakistan), a poetic, data-driven reflection on the ecological collapse of Manchar Lake. 🔹 “Our Bodies Remain Online” by Rabbiya Farooq (Pakistan), an audiovisual exploration of how digital habits shape our physiology and emotions. 🔹 “Quantum Babylon” by ROMAN LIPSKI (Germany), a visually striking meditation on quantum ethics, beauty, and imagination. 🔹 “Qubits on the Bloch” by Dr. Maria (Marilena) Longobardi & Dr. Marie Le Dantech (Switzerland), where quantum research meets artistic interpretation.   As Mae Jeminson, American engineer, physician, and former NASA astronaut, puts it: "The difference between science and the arts is not that they are different sides of the same coin… or even different parts of the same continuum, but rather, they are manifestations of the same thing. The arts and sciences are avatars of human creativity." How can art reframe our understanding of emerging science?
