The INHABIT artist-in-residence programme of the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics invites artists from the performing arts and music to collaborate with their team of scientists and researchers in Frankfurt, Germany.
The integration of artistic thinking and knowledge as reflective practices in their own right is an important dimension of the Institute’s mission. For this reason, the presence of art and the inspiration and challenge of artistic practice are essential. The interaction between these different perspectives creates a productive space for artists and scientists to collaborate in.
