Studio for Creative Inquiry

http://www.cmu.edu/studio/
The STUDIO for Creative Inquiry was founded in 1989 to support experimental and cross-disciplinary work in the arts. It carries out this mission by: providing artist residencies with stipends, commissions and facilities; maintaining a work environment populated by a broad range of practitioners, including resident fellows, Carnegie Mellon faculty and students, and other associates; facilitating access to human and technical resources at Carnegie Mellon and throughout the Pittsburgh community; and developing public venues for presenting innovative work. Within this broad framework, a locus of activity has emerged which includes work in three interrelated areas:

Biology

The relationship of biological science and cognitive science with the human being.

Ecology

The connection of humanity with the larger environment.

Robotics

The relationship of the intelligent machine with the human being. This activity takes advantage of the extensive technological and artistic capabilities of Carnegie Mellon. Of overall interest is the BIO-ECO-ROBO synergy. This framework is considered inclusive rather than exclusive. Back to Top
