The Impact of Space on Society 

The arts have been an integral part of space exploration and space
activities since the beginning. Over the years artists, writers and
film-makers have captured the imaginations of their generations gradually
making the idea of space exploration an exciting and integral part of our
society’s shared aspirations which in turn has helped generate public
support and enthusiasm for the civilian space initiatives. 

What is the role and place of artists today? 

We are seeking presentations from artists, writers and other cultural
professionals that address the role of the artist in the context of societal
and cultural aspects of space activities from a future oriented perspective.

Background of the Leonardo/Olats Space and the Arts Workshop 

Under the title "Rencontres du 13 avril" a series of small, one-day
Workshops on Space and the Arts was co-organized by Leonardo/Olats, the OURS
Foundation and the International Academy for Astronautics between the years
1997 and 2002. Held in Boulogne-Billancourt, a suburb near Paris, these
workshops attracted leading space scientists, engineers and artists on
specific themes chosen to generate exchanges between artists and scientists
concerning the cultural impact of space activities. Since 2004, the workshop
has become nomadic and is held in different countries in partnership with
other organizations. 

The different topics of the past seven workshops have been: 

1997 April 13th -  "The Artists as Space Explorers" 
1998 March 25th - "Space Art / Earth Art" 
1999 March 21st - "Cultural Perspectives on Space" 
2000 March 26th - "Life in Space" 
2001 March 25th – “Outer Space - Cyber Space" 
2002 March 17th  -"The Collaborative Process in Space Art" 
2004 May 18-21 – "Space: Science, Technology and the Arts", in partnership
with ESTEC 

The documentation about each past workshop is online on the 
Leonardo/Olats web site at http://www.olats.org
