Ars Scientia

In 2023 Mair was an invited artist in residence at University of British Columbia's Ars Scientia program, a tripartite partnership fusing arts and science in the emergent fields of interdisciplinary research between UBC’s Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute (Blusson QMI), the Department of Physics and Astronomy and The Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery. As part of his residency Mair collaborated with SBQMI Condensed Matter Physicist Alannah Hallas by mixing paint medium with quantum materials in order to produce paintings.
