The Leonardo/ISAST LASERs are a program of international gatherings that bring artists, scientists, humanists and technologists together for informal presentations, performances and conversations with the wider public. The mission of the LASERs is to encourage contribution to the cultural environment of a region by fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and opportunities for community building to over 50 cities around the world.

Invoking the field’s ethos of experimentation and collaboration, Experiments in Art, Access and Technology, or E.A.A.T. prototypes a new program that links communities, institutions, and ways of knowing through practices of creative access. This exhibition will introduce methods in art and technology that arise from—and viscerally embody— lived experiences of disability.

The Leonardo LASER Talks in New York City are curated by Ellen Levy and Patricia Olynyk. See event for details.
