Creation and research at the arts \& sciences chair in Paris

The "Arts \& Sciences" Chair at the École polytechnique, the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs-PSL and the Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation was created in September 2017 with the ambition of bringing together the arts \& sciences to imagine tomorrow, by promoting collaborative practices and a citizen approach. In a context of climate emergency and constant technological and digital developments, artists and scientists have in common that they can play a "scouting" role. The Arts \& Sciences Chair offers a research and creation program to question our interdependence with the environment, human and non-human, whether it is to explore our relationship to plants and climate or human-machine interactions. Several examples of art installations involving rain, fog, oxygen, waves, instability and time will be presented.
