Hi Andreas,
I know there are 'artists', in the singular sense, whom exploit the ever
spurious link between 'art & science' via the use of technology - yet
actual media artists in the larger sense, not sure really.
marc
dear friends,
out of curiosity: is there any evidence that the relation between art
and science is in fact intensifying (as blurbs like these always
suggest), and that what we see is more than a (statistically
horizontal) decade-spanning string of incidental projects and
cooperations? there has been talk about this intensification for at
least 50 or even 80 years, if you take the original Bauhaus or the
post-revolutionary Russian Avantgarde into account. but there also
seems to be an insistence of much of art to stay away from science,
and vice versa. luckily.
(most of the 'gravitation' mentioned here might be coupled with a
centrifugal force, in which case it would be interesting to understand
who or what is keeping the two, art and science, in each other's orbit.)
regards,
-a
New Constellations: Art, Science and Society
An international conference charting the ways in which art and
science are
gravitating towards one another within contemporary culture. The
Conference
will present the latest thinking about collaboration between artists and
scientists and examine how the worldwide trend towards interdisciplinary
engagement is changing the definitions, methodologies and practices
they use
and how they view the social implications of their work.
