Arts of Science Laboratory
Digital Transition and Analogical Continuity
The Art of Sciences laboratory (LAPIS) investigates the processes of representing scientific thought through figurative tools offered by artistic disciplines.
The laboratory’s scientific mission is to investigate the role of implicit knowledge derived from analogical practices in the explicit automation of production processes. Therefore, research and teaching activity explores theoretical and practical implications of handcrafting specifically in the field of digital representation (image analysis, synthesis and processing), while developing strong cultural foundations and critical independent thinking.

The research areas of LAPIS are as follows:
