merging science & art
This gallery exhibits artworks that fund researchers and organizations working on improving the long-term future.
Hope Drop: Visionary scientists discuss how their work advances humanity toward flourishing futures. We generate an art piece and story prompt to visualize it. Listen to the podcast, explore the art, or contribute a story!
DeSci Drop: Early-stage science faces two problems: 1. It’s hard to communicate. 2. Funding relies on complicated legacy institutions that take a big cut. In this exhibit, a scientist and an artist co-create an art work and split the proceeds. Become a direct patron of a brilliant scientist!
