Loops with Ian Erik Stewart and Mindaugas Gapševičius

For our next appointment in the Loops series, we will be joined by Ian Erik Stewart and Mindaugas Gapševičius, for a discussion on art-science intersections, environmental impact, non-human creativity, and the humanisation of technology. Ian Stewart is a PhD candidate at The Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin (member of Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres), who researches how brains encode the body. He was a founding member of EDGE Neuroscience & Art e.V., a non-profit group of international artist-scientists, exploring intersections between art and neuroscience. Today he works in science policy and advocacy, where he develops ideas merging politics, science, and technologies. As an artist, he also produced installations and audio artworks while studying in Sydney, London, and Berlin. Mindaugas Gapševičius delves into the intricate dynamics between non-human entities and human creativity while examining humanity’s impact on the environment. He completed his MA studies at the Vilnius Academy of Arts in 1999, followed by earning an MPhil from Goldsmiths University of London in 2016, and defending his PhD thesis at Bauhaus University Weimar in 2022. He played a pivotal role in founding Institutio Media, Lithuania’s premier media art platform (http://www.o-o.lt/1998/) in 1998, and later co-founded Migrating Art Academies (http://www.migaa.eu/), a pan-European network supporting emerging artists. He co-established a community based biolab, as well as Alt lab (https://www.o-o.lt/alt-lab/), a hub for non-disciplinary research based in Vilnius, and launched the Centre for Non-machines Research (  / non.machines  .
