Cylons, singing electric fish, stem cells, random chaos, and physicists playing guitars. Come join us for an intriguing night when we see what happens when science and art collide. 137 Films, Chicago’s science documentary company, is hosting a fundraiser at the Viaduct Theatre to support our mission of raising science literacy through great storytelling. What happens when artists draw from the world of science to create work? What about scientists who take their experiments from the lab to the gallery? Find out in a panel discussion featuring Maria Finitzo (Peabody Award-winning documentary filmmaker), Malcolm MacIver (Neuroscientist, artist, and science consultant to the upcoming “TRON” movie) and Vesna Jovanovic (visual and ceramics artist), moderated by Peabody Award-winning journalist and author Alex Kotlowitz. Music will be provided by The Drug Sniffing Dogs, a rock band made up entirely of high-energy particle physicists from Fermilab!
Location: The Viaduct Theatre 3111 N. Western Ave, Chicago, IL
