A talk with the artist Sissel Tolaas and the scientist Luc Steels in the frame of the exhibition Utopia Matters at the Deutsche Guggenheim. Luc Steels and Sissel Tolaas represent different ways of approaching the interaction between science and art; one comes from the science world and the other from the art world. They try to understand each other's methods of working more than actually striving towards making works of art together. Steels and Tolaas both stress the importance of processes in their work and want to give others access to these processes. They both investigate communication. Steels studies the origins of communication, and particularly how sensory experiences, such as colour or spatial and bodily perception can become categorised and verbali-sed. Tolaas studies the most unique non-verbal communication form that we humans have, namely smells.
