Waag Society, Head of Wet Lab programme Head of Wet Lab programme

Lucas Evers (M) initiated Waag’s Open Wet Lab. He is actively involved in projects that concern interactions between the arts and sciences, arts and ethics and the arts in a contemporary makers culture. The Open Wet Lab is a laboratory where arts, design, sciences, engineering and the public meet to research biotechnologies and their impact on society and ecology. He is trained in fine arts and teaching at Zuyd University of Applied Sciences, Maastricht and studied political science at the University of Amsterdam.

At Waag, he initiated projects like Trust me I’m an Artist (ethics of art and science collaboration), Future Emerging Art and Technologies, BrainHack, Do It Together Bio, Critical Making. His interests lie in the way we can learn from the interactions, the differences and similarities, between artistic, scientific and other cultures of research.
