The power of merging arts and sciences is, that you get the tools kit to express the mysteries of life in a completely new dimension.

I think, that arts are more creative and not so constricted and confined by certain methods. They actually help researchers like us to think differently and to open their minds. 

When an artist looks at an apple, and a scientist looks at an apple - it is the same object! But they are going to extract different information and interpretation from that. So, I think there is slightly different interpretations of the universe. They’re both valid and they are actually self-referential. So why not actively try to integrate those fields much more traditionally has happened in the past?

It was the realization that with my hard-core science that I do in the academic context, we produce very interesting data, but we do not necessarily reach people. There are so much data out there telling us what we need to do, therefore, I think it’s important that these days we need to work together in a bigger interdisciplinary team to look at these more global big problems from various angles and pool expertise.
