This book explores collaboration between artists and scientists and examines the ways in which scientific data and research findings can be communicated, translated and transformed using the techniques of contemporary art and information technology. Contemporary art formsincluding installation, sculpture, painting, computer-based art, Internet art and interactive electronic artworksare able to provide new and creative outlets, with expanded audiences, for scientific research.
The book, which features 75 illustrations of works created as a result of artscience collaboration between scientists and artists, is important in the field because it presents a thorough account of the collaboration through the eyes of a leading creative practitioner and a leading cultural theorist. It contains a wide range of in-detail examples of successful collaborative works that illustrate the breadth and depth of contemporary interdisciplinary creative-research approaches.
