Talk 38: Narratives – Artistic Language and Ewing Sarcoma – Part 3

At this meeting, the artist Bela  and the researchers Eleni and Heinrich speak about the possibilities how to represent the researchers‘ work in an abstract way. In this context they describe the idea of the ‚black box‘. Eleni wants to find and characterise what happens in this blackbox, Heinrich wants to find out what happens to the tumor cells in that ‚black box‘. Bela imagines a locked box, an integral part of his work. The ’story‘ would be to unlock it. They also speak about biopsy and small blue round cell tumors, fusion proteins that are characteristic for ewing sarcoma but also for other pediatric sarcomas.

Eleni Tomazou and Heinrich Kovar are scientists at the St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research Institute (CCRI), Bela Borsodi is a photographer and artist in New York and Vienna. The project Art4Science enables the scientists of St. Anna Children’s Cancer Research Institute to develop a specific method of collaboration, by working with artists of different fields. In order to present scientific processes and research works in an innovative way, the artists will create music pieces, visual works of art and fashion collections as well. To provide the public with first-hand information, the meetings will be documented in radio shows and podcast recordings.
