Public Art, Science and Technology
While we might think of the process of art making as highly individual, the process is often very collaborative and requires the skills of engineers and technicians to come to life, particularly for public artworks.
About this tour
Tour duration: 15 minutes
In this audio tour, we will experience three artworks in Concordia’s public art collection through the theme of Art, Science and Technology.
This tour highlights the multidisciplinary nature of Concordia University, in particular the science programs on the Loyola campus. Each of the works featured in this tour explores concepts around science and technology as subject matter, each artist approaching this theme in a distinct way. Beyond the conceptual and aesthetic exploration of this theme, you will also have a glimpse into the material processes behind the construction of these artworks.
We invite you to pause the audio and take a closer look at the artwork at any time.
