The event is part of the Luxembourg Space Week, scheduled from December 2nd to 5th. With 5 parallel events, the Luxembourg Space Week will be the place where innovation meets exploration, offering a dynamic platform for industry leaders, enthusiasts, and visionaries alike to converge and chart the future of space.
Interstell’Art
The symposium will for the first time welcome an art exhibition Interstell’Art, as art has played a key role in rendering interstellar visions tangible and fostered its cultural impact. “Every art should become science, and every science should become art.” Along with this quote from Friedrich von Schlegel (1797) the organizing committee calls for artists and gallerists whose artists are inspired by the cosmos, to submit a proposal of genuine art, graphic or sculptures, mixed media, abstract or figurative. AI-induced art is admissible, but whether in entirety or partially, must make a mention thereof. If you are interested, apply to exhibit.
