Scientific Delirium Madness 5.0

Scientific Delirium Madness (SDM) is a collaborative initiative of Leonardo/ISAST and Djerassi Resident Artists Program. The 2018 session celebrated the 5th year of SDM—a monthlong residency that brings together artists and scientists at the Djerassi 583-acre retreat in the coastal Santa Cruz Mountains in California. While living, eating, working and hiking alone and together, the residents are urged to “just be,” to allow their passions and practices to explore new territory in every sense of the word. To transform and transcend the boundaries of art and science. This Leonardo Gallery features a selection of Artists’ Statements stemming from the 2018 SDM 5.0 residency, 13 June–11 July 2018.
