Sound + Science 3.0 — UCLA Art|Sci Center



Sound + Science 3.0

Presented by the UCLA Art|Sci Center

This Spring, the UCLA Art|Sci Center proudly presents Sound + Science 3.0, the third installment of its trailblazing symposium series, following editions in 2009 and 2019.

Taking place in person on May 1–2, 2025, the symposium will be hosted across three iconic UCLA locations: the Fowler Museum, the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI), and the Botanical Gardens.

Held in conjunction with 20 years of the Art|Sci Center and the Center’s exhibition in Getty’s region-wide initiative PST ART: Art & Science Collide, Atmosphere of Sound: Sonic Arts in Times of Climate Disruption, this year’s event brings together leading artists, scientists and scholars to explore the dynamic intersections of sound, science and environmental change.

On view are two works: In Silence… by Joel Ong at the CNSI Art|Sci Gallery, and Electronic Khipu by Patricia Cadavid at the Fowler Museum. Additionally, the Art|Sci Center will launch Leonardo (MIT Press) Volume 58, Issue 2, spotlighting a special theme on Acoustics — a collection of critical discourse on sonic research and artistic experimentation.
