Poetry and science offer different ways of looking at the world. Both want to explain this world to us - with poetic or scientific means, but always in the medium of language. In a cross-border project, the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and the Lyrik Kabinett bring outstanding poets and scientists - including Büchner and Leibniz Prize winners - together over four evenings to discuss these questions. They talk about the senses, plants and animals, about music and explain the sky.
Studio Umlaut designed the key visual as a poetic implementation of abstract forms.
