EXPERTS
Defining my community of practice represented a first step to achieve my personal contribution to the art and science world by opening up a conversation and creating a safe space to play, experiment and try to understand dark matter. As part of the process, I defined different profiles that could be relevant to this specific research either for their own knowledge of dark matter or because of their contribution to the art and science real. I aimed to ask some brief questions that could help me define the proper tone/wording for my installation and at the same time being accurate to the science behind it.
