Claudia Schnugg
Claudia Schnugg is artscience scholar and curator. She holds a PhD in social and economic sciences with an additional focus on cultural sciences and media arts. Her ongoing practice in the field of art and science is twofold: as scholar she is researching artscience collaborations, investigating effects and impact of such art-science exchange on actors, organizations involved and the relevance of the outcome. Thereby, she is also exploring new ways of employing artistic strategic strategies in scientific research. For example, she is currently principal investigator of the Digital-Sensemaking project at Johannes Kepler University Linz and is engaged in several international research projects.
As a curator, she works with artscience processes, projects, and programs, but also develops exhibitions at the intersection of art and science. Currently, she is curating and consulting artist-in-residence programs and artscience projects at European Space Agency/ESTEC, Institute of Stem Cells and Epigenetics at Helmholtz Center Munich, Science Gallery Berlin, and the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia.
Most recently she was guest curator of “Cosmos Archaeology” at the EPFL Pavilions in Lausanne, Switzerland, and she is co-curator of Resonances IV “Naturarchy” of the SciArt Project at the JRC in Ispra. Her most recent book is Creating Art Science Collaborations (2019), published by Palgrave Macmillan.

Judith van der Elst
Judith van der Elst holds degrees in archaeology/anthropology (M.A. University of Leiden, the Netherlands; Ph.D. University of New Mexico, USA), with a specialization in spatial thinking and geospatial technologies. She carried out her doctoral research in New Mexico, with a focus on the investigation of differences in spatial cognition within the human population. She was fortunate to learn different approaches to value our human heritage, and specifically important are the connections to the land taught through Native American land-based knowledge systems, through which this research branched out into questioning the spatiality of other forms of intelligence and interconnectedness of being. Thereafter, her interest in land-based knowledge systems, biosemiotics, and radical embodied cognitive approaches resulted in an exploration of research beyond academic boundaries for a number of years.
Currently she works as a researcher as part of the research group Art & Sustainability, Minerva Art Academy at Hanze University of Applied Sciences, and as a postdoctoral researcher within the ELSA-Lab NN (University of Groningen), focused on the ethical and socially responsible implementation of A.I. applications in healthcare.
