New, exciting ideas and opportunities arise in the interstices between disparate disciplines. Studio|Lab is a collaborative research initiative at Penn State that emerged from the idea that art and science are complementary. The initiative provides space and opportunity for undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty to fuse their creative and experimental impulses into ideas in a wide range of fields. In its most literal sense, Studio|Lab is a “studio” for scientists to refine the aesthetic dimensions of their work, and a “laboratory” for artists to test the performance and impact of their work. Brought together, we attempt to contribute to the powerful nexus of creativity and empirical inquiry from which innovation emerges. In this presentation we will discuss six mediums of inquiry that hold potential for interventions on both a personal and a population scale.
