| Summary: | "The entanglements between the sciences and the arts have always been manifold and variegated, at times more pronounced, at times rather concealed. Today, a new chapter appears to be in the process of being written. Hans-J̲rg Rheinberger tries to sound out its aspects and dimensions. The book opens on Rheinberger's engagement with the oeuvre of a number of contemporary artists. These essays are followed by conversations conducted with artists and curators on problems of the actual debate about artistic research. At stake is an understanding of the arts as research processes possessing their own character and specificities. What it means to get involved in research is then explored in more detail in a number of texts that revolve around a key procedure of exploration: experimentation. The book concludes with vignettes on objects and topics that have aroused the interest of both scientists and artists, from the past up to the present"--pg. 4 of cover. |
