What if science produced in universities doesn’t just serve to advance knowledge in the expected way? What if science, developed by researchers and engineers, men and women, from computer science to electronics, could be used for artistic creation?

The inauguration of the Exhibition “Art with Science”, by Leonel Moura, will take place on 23 May, at Técnico Innovation Center. This event is part of the celebrations of the 114th anniversary of Instituto Superior Técnico – “Dia do Técnico.

In this exhibition, the artist introduces us to robots that create original paintings using a combination of random decisions, influenced by their surroundings.
