Uncharted: arts and science exhibition

From September 19 to December 6, the arts and sciences exhibition Uncharted, organized by Ohme, brings together twelve ULB artists and researchers to explore the materiality of the Earth and the complexity of its transformations.

What still eludes our gaze, our instruments, our understanding - what remains invisible, unexplored - In a world marked by climatic upheavals, geopolitical mutations and scientific advances, Uncharted proposes works that circulate between art, science and the geological imagination.

Between art and science, the twelve guest artists question the contemporary Earth through installations, videos, sounds, sculptures, maps and research data. Mediation texts, produced in collaboration with researchers in geosciences, philosophy and psychology at the Université libre de Bruxelles, accompany the tour. They offer keys to understanding and enrich the interpretation of the works through a diversity of viewpoints.
To complement the exhibition, two guided tours, on October 4 and 8 from 3 to 4 pm at ISELP, will be organized and led by curator Camilla Colombo (Ohme) with :

With Lisa Ardoin, Faculty of Science, Corentin Caudron, Faculty of Science, Camilla Colombo and Raoul Sommeillier, Ecole polytechnique de Bruxelles.

Do you know that ice is a climatic archive - Do you know about the corridors of glowing clouds near volcanoes - And are you aware that there are uncharted areas of the Earth’s crust that we don’t even know about - In many ways, science nourishes an imagination in dialogue with art. A glaciologist returning from Antarctica and a vulcanologist working in the Caribbean talk to two members of the ohme platform about the links between art and science: this is the menu for the second episode of our Têtes Chercheuses podcast series. An opportunity for the two young researchers to talk about their work and possible links with art. The members of the ohme collective, who curated the uncharted exhibition, present their transdisciplinary approach in this podcast. At the heart of the discussion: the consequences of human activity on our planet, time and geological scales.
