If you don’t have anyone in your life challenging you to critically think about what real trust and real transparency look like when dealing with biotechnology that is so intimate and so integral to what makes us human, then it’s time to meet our favorite art entrepreneurs, Gen and Marco.
On this episode of Titus Talks, we are delighted to sit down with Genefer Baxter and Marco Locatelli. Genefer and Marco are Berlin-based artists, designers, and facilitators at Aula Future, a project-based research and STEAM program. Before founding Aula Future alongside Marco Locatelli, Gen worked with new media, curating immersive art experiences in Berlin, Germany where participants could interact with technology-driven installations. Marco received his training in product design, material engineering, and nanotechnology at the Polytechnic University of Milan. Since then, he has gained years of experience in various 3D platforms and has honed skills in designing immersive experiences both digitally and physically. In 2019, Genefer and Marco were selected as artists-in-residence at the Science Center in Philadelphia.
Today they get to share about the creative explosion waiting to happen at the intersection of art, tech, science, and education. We also have a good laugh about stick bugs and the crazy things skydiving instructors say as you jump out of planes.
Their advice for our listeners?
Get a little lost—but not too lost—while never losing your center and the impact that you want to have on the world; to introduce a little art into your thinking to fully embrace your personal philosophical journey.
We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!
