The Art+Science Salon is a podcast, event series, and network of creatives working at the crossroads of art, science, and technology. Each episode features conversations with people at the forefront of culture, those shaping critical conversations on the future of art, science, and society. Catch your hosts, researchers Dr. Amelia McConville and Dr. Autumn Brown at festivals, laboratories, raves, conferences and more, welcoming guests into the salon for unforgettable conversations.
