Just visited Best Museum ever❗️❗️ Do you also think traditional museums are boring? Very academical and complex descriptions of objects are simply not accessible to an average human. And often you can’t touch anything, just watch. If you complain you are considered uneducated. How do you dare not to like museums?! 🫣🫣 I have been to many and didn’t like most of them. Always thought there are better ways to educate and share science with a wider public. Have you ever imagined driving the world’s first car, piloting a locomotive, or walking on the seabed? Now you can! 🚀 In PROTO Invention Factory in Tallinn, Europe’s only museum of its kind, in a former secret submarine factory. It’s a real adventure where science is engaging and fun. Here, prototypes of incredible inventions come to life with cutting-edge technology. Feels like you’ve stepped into Jules Verne’s wildest dreams! 🌊✨ Young or old, prepare to be amazed! 🌟 Do you like museums? #Innovation #PROTOInventionFactory #InteractiveMuseum #Virtualreality #Futureoflearning

“Fail early, fail often, but always fail forward” ~ John C. Maxwell The word “failure” has such a negative connotation. However, in the field of #innovation , it is actually accepted, if not outright encouraged. Failure is regarded as the #learning point in the journey of innovation. Without it, there would be no progress. I came across this quirky website called the Museum of Failure (https://lnkd.in/dMbs_Jc9). It showcases a collection of failed products and services. Here is a quote from the website: “Innovation needs failure. All progress, not only technological progress, is built on learning from past failures and mistakes. The museum aims to stimulate productive discussion about failure and inspire us to take meaningful risks.” Happy failing 😊 #keeponlearning

Why should every research center have an artist on the team? 📙🎨 Art and science traditionally are seen as separate fields. Yet, at the DIT platform, we believe that collaboration between artists and scientists can be beneficial. It can spread awareness about the activities of scientific institutions and translate scientific phenomena for the public. Art can also shed light on alternative views from which to inspect or challenge scientific ideas and assumptions. We practice what we preach, so we used to have an artist in residence Pauline Wiersema, who helped us spread awareness about the DIT's values of radical research and engagement methods, transformative education, and sustainability. Wellcome Trust is another organisation that promotes #sciart, which they describe as the marriage of science and art in the creation of pieces that owe their creation to both. The organisation funds rigorous encounters between science and art. Regardless of the wide number of supporters, the movement is criticised by some scientists for being far-fetched and pseudoscientific. Let us know what 𝘺𝘰𝘶 think about the collaborations between artists and scientific institutions in the comments! #transformativeacademia #art #artinacademia #sciart

🎨 Digital Canvas: The Art of Technology with ITCubed 🎨 Mia, curator at a bustling city museum, wondered, "How can we bring timeless art into the digital age?"

Symposium What Methods Do - Tuesday 9 April - Livestream Artistic research makes the relationship between art and society permeable. Rather than bracketed in the private realm of the lone artist or the network of autonomous art institutions, artistic research opens up its practice to the public domain. Its #methods become part of collective process of exploration and re-imagining. This #symposium will explore and evaluate how these methods play a role in producing knowledge, shifting boundaries between disciplines, and reconfiguring the agency of #art in a societal context. What do methods do? How can they be used? How do they address the urgencies of a world in dire need of new perspectives? The international symposium on Artistic Research Methods will take place at the Textile Museum in Tilburg the Netherlands on 9 April, starting time 13.00. It is organized by Leiden University's Academy of Creative and Performing Arts (ACPA) and the Platform for Arts Research in Collaboration (PARC), in coordination with Fontys University of Applied Sciences Tilburg and the Society for Artistic Research (SAR). The symposium is an initiative of Route Kunst – NWA, the Dutch National Research Agenda. Go to the website whatmethodsdo.com for the full program. The symposium is fully booked, register now for the livestream: https://lnkd.in/eu33DrmN Leiden University - Faculty of Humanities / Hogeschool der Kunsten Den Haag #artisticresearch #artisticresearchmethods #acpa #acpaleiden #leidenuniversity #fontys #SAR #RouteKunstNWA

While I didn't have the chance to interview Edvard Munch personally, I did gain 3 important lessons from a visit to the Munchmuseet in Oslo this week: 1. Resilience: I find it fascinating how Munch's resilience as an artist shines through, underscoring the significance of perseverance in the world of creativity. (It was intriguing to learn that Munch faced rejection just like many of us creative individuals.) 2. Signature Work: Of course, visitors gathered around to see "The Scream." But also explored the other 12 floors of work. The idea of a signature piece of art struck me profoundly, with its potential to serve as a gateway to exploring one's extensive body of other work. 3. Prolific Creativity: Edvard Munch's prolific output left a lasting impression on me. It serves as a compelling reminder to all of us to embark on our own creative journeys...and KEEP creating. Have you ever wondered if they'd build a museum one day to showcase all your creative endeavors? Come along with me on this creative expedition through Oslo, Norway, and stay tuned for additional insights and revelations on the upcoming episode of "Unlocking Your World of Creativity." https://lnkd.in/gSUQgkD #osloinnovationweek #munch #unlockingyourworldofcreativity
