The Foundation invites artists in dialogue with philosophers and scientists to question our times and generate a valuable new thought. This talk gives the voice to Jean-Pierre Goux, mathematician and writer, and Fabien Léaustic, artist-researcher graduated from ENSAD and EISTI. Both are developing a transversal approach of energy challenges calling for a creative revolution. This live talk between Art and Science will question the status of the artwork in the light of the ecological transition and the options to create, project new narratives and raise a collective planetary consciousness.
