The Penn Center for Neuroaesthetics (PCfN) will invite Lucas Kelly to be their inaugural artist-in-residence. Kelly is an interdisciplinary artist and through this residency he will work collaboratively with PCfN on the development of an art project addressing the ambiguity of and constructive nature of human memory. Through Kelly’s work in the PCfN lab, his engagement with multiple departments, and through the residency’s culminating exhibit, this collaboration will expose young neuroscientists, artists, and clinicians at Penn to the potential fortrue dialogue between the arts and sciences early in their studies. The final exhibit will invite the public to consider how artists and scientists can meaningfully pool their skills and stretch their modes of thinking. PCfN hopes, too, that their project will embody the promise of interdisciplinarity and motivate audiences to explore the topic of memory and its fallibility with them.
