The Swiss artists-in-labs program provides a framework for artists to investigate relations between contemporary art practice, science, and society through long-term interaction with scientific research. In the form of a nationally and internationally functioning exchange program, it enables artists and scientists to detect the thematic correlations and differences between their fields of work and to benefit from the constructive dynamics of mutual inspiration.
