Encounters: Where Creative and Scientific Inquiry Meet

Encounters delves into the evolving nexus of creative and scientific inquiry at the dynamic research ecosystem of Stanford University with host and Denning Visiting Artist Janani Balasubramanian.

Across four episodes, Janani explores how art catalyzes cross-disciplinary play – from the physics and metaphors of the interstellar medium to how information theory connects to mythology from the ancient past – featuring leading researchers, innovators, and thought visionaries. The series also provides a window into Janani's springtime residency with field scenes captured at key moments on campus.
