Djerassi Executive Director Margot Knight describes the genesis of the Scientific Delirium Madness (now Leonardo at Djerassi) program: "What if we devoted a 30-day live/work residency to bringing artists and scientists together to live, work and explore the universe? What would happen? What could happen? Because of Carl Djerassi’s work in art and science, this sort of collaboration had happened a few times in the program’s history. But what if we deliberately selected a group of scientists with demonstrated interest in art and artists whose muses were informed by science?" On 1 July 2014 the experiment began.
