Lecture by Frank Theys: Thinking 3 Cultures: Art, Science and Society. Given on 8 May 2015 at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam.

In this philosophical journey film & theatre maker and visual artist Frank Theys talks about how modern society was founded by the segregation between science and society since the beginning of our Modern Times. How did this 'split-thinking' in the history of science philosophy eventually influence modern art philosophy in its own tendency to take distance from society and seek for its own essence? The past decades both art and science however moved in the opposite direction and are facing their social responsibility/relevance. In this lecture Frank Theys will touch upon the viewpoints and consequences of these new intertwining tendencies, seen from a social, a scientific and an artistic approach.
