At the Limits of Life and Empathy: Dario Robleto and Malcolm MacIver

@ Block Museum of Art

40 Arts Circle Dr, Evanston, IL 60208

Opening Wednesday, April 12th, from 4PM - 5:30PM

On view through Sunday, July 9th

Northwestern Professor of Biomedical and Mechanical Engineering Malcolm MacIver researches the relationship between sense perception, cognition, and evolution. This dialogue between the scientist and Dario Robleto will explore how art and science both contemplate—and seek to overcome—the physical and temporal limits of human life. The discussion will touch on the question of how art might provide a model for long-term thinking, especially in times of societal and ecological transformation.

Presented in connection with exhibition, “The Heart’s Knowledge: Science and Empathy in the Art of Dario Robleto.”
