STADHI (Science & Technology + Art & Design Hybrid Innovation) is a transdisciplinary research collaboration based at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, established with Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, UK.
Scientist in Residence (SiR)
Since establishing the Grow Lab at Central Saint Martins in 2019, we have invited cutting edge scientists to share their research with CSM art and design students, opening it up to be reimagined and re-presented through a process of transdisciplinary ‘hacking’.
Mattering Life (18-22 March 2024)
Professor Masahiko Hara (Tokyo Institute of Technology) and Professor Nick Lane (University College London) will share their research on the origin and evolution of life, exploring the energies and flows in matter, particles, and cells.
Making Waves: Rhythms, Patterns, Forces (2022)
Professor Masahiko Hara (Tokyo Institute of Technology) and Dr Thomas Iskratsch (Queen Mary University of London) shared their research on the dynamics, synchronisation, and self-organisation of living systems.
Hacking Hearts (2019)
Professor Wataru Hijikata (Tokyo Institute of Technology) and Dr Thomas Iskratsch (Queen Mary University of London) shared their research on heart disease, energy harvesting and cellular sensing.
We work together to develop hybrid methodologies and hacking practices to nurture new fields of inquiry across science, engineering, technology, art and design.
