Special Event by Science in Motion (Stanford)
🌍 Science in Motion: When Data Becomes Dance
Science in Motion, an NGO founded by Stanford scientists, reimagines how scientific concepts can move—literally—through the language of dance and art.
At the Global AI Pitch Summit 2nd this November, join us for our debut performance:
Cancer - A Visceral Exploration of Life, Fragility, and Resilience
This groundbreaking performance transforms complex medical ideas into living, breathing movement. Each gesture embodies a molecule; each rhythm mirrors the pulse of cellular transformation. Through choreography, we translate science into emotion, data into rhythm, and research into poetry in motion. 💃
Science in Motion is where the precision of science meets the soul of art - a collaboration that reminds us that discovery, too, has a heartbeat.
This is only the beginning. Many more creations await—on memory, learning, the brain, and beyond.
If you live at the intersection of science and art, we invite you to join us. Let’s move science forward together.
