Art,
science and design were once closely tied to one another, but in the
modern age technological specialisation and other divisions brought
about a fragmentation of these fields. Increasingly, however, we have
begun noticing a number of cross-pollinations between fine arts,
applied arts and the sciences. During the conference 'Utopian
Practices: Science, Art & Design REunited', a number of pioneers in
this issue will present some surprising connections between the various
disciplines like Susan Kennard, Executive Director of the new media
institute BANFF in Canada will talk about the unique way that BANFF
brings together researchers, artists and designers. Professor Emeritus
Martin Kemp from Oxford University will discuss the similarities
between artists and scientists based on what he calls ‘structural
intuition’. And artist Beatriz da Costa will tell us how difficult it
is to break down the barriers between art and science based on the
question ‘when does Art become Science?’
Utopian Practices is
the official opening for a programme dealing with the daily practice of
art, science and design organised by Waag Society, the Royal
Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences’ Virtual Knowledge Studio and
The Arts & Genomics Centre at Leiden University.
