The Microsoft Research Artist in Residence program brings together artists, scientists, and engineers to reflect and create across the vast unexplored possibilities at the intersection of humanity, culture, and technology. This program merges disciplines to powerfully showcase cutting-edge research, convey higher concepts, and expand public perception of computer science and what computer scientists do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nature of this collaborative program underscores that the relationship between artist and industry is based upon what each does best\u2014researchers pursue their intellectual curiosities, theories, and questions; artists observe, question and then sculpt and distill those elements into a public space that creates room for dialogue, iterative prototyping of ideas, and even for beautiful failures that come from inspiring and idealistic ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
