ART_X
Art_X@Rensselaer is an initiative that infuses education with the arts—by offering more opportunities to study artistic disciplines, like music, while expanding pedagogy and research with arts-inspired approaches to conceptual thinking. These posters were to draw people to the Art_X events.

BIODESIGNING THE FUTURE OF MEDICINE
The poster promotes a panel discussion that discusses crossovers between art/design and science and the possible futures for collaborations. Rensselaer participated in a national competition with the Biodesign Challenge. The Biodesign Challenge offers art/design, engineering, and science students the opportunity to envision future applications of biotechnology in a competition that highlights student work.
MUSICA HUMANA/MUSICA UNIVERSALIS
The concept of the poster draws on the musical philosophies of classical antiquity, Musica Universalis and Musica Humana–philosphies that address the scientific and spiritual exploration of the Impact of music on the brain. The poster promotes a multi media program centered around the diverse ways music has been understood as reflecting both the harmony of the cosmos (Musica Universalis) and the inner harmony of the human body (Musica Humana). The image on the poster is an etching of "The Tuning of the World," showing the harmony of the universe as tuned by the hand of God.
