Opening Reception of ‘In the Beginning was the’: an exhibition

There’s only one way to know what was ‘In the beginning…’

Join Katarina Petrović and library curators for an artist talk and conversation about ArtScience, algorithms, and what the negation of seminal texts like the Bible and Darwin offers us. She will also overview her ongoing collaborations with TU Delft researchers and institutes like Stephen Pickens (Applied Sciences) and QuTech.

The discussion will be followed by a reception and the chance for audience members to interact with the artist, words, and works.
