Conference in Wrocław: What can art do for science? 16th Media Art Biennale WRO 2015 TEST EXPOSURE!
The conference is curated by Ryszard W. Kluszczyński. The conference will be interpreted to Polish and English. What can art do for science? The thesis that art has significantly transformed as a result of its contacts with science is no longer doubted. Indeed, a new area of artistic practices has appeared, known as Art&Science, SciArt or art@science. The changes to which art succumbed in effect of its closer relations with science took place in all art dimensions and aspects, both in terms of the materials and instruments used, as well as the methods applied in the artistic processes, in the created forms, the subject matter, as well as the most fundamental aesthetic issues, such as the status of the creative process, the concept of the work of art or the structure and the nature of the viewer’s experience. Art research has been keeping up with the developments above, progressing with ever greater force and reaching in their diversity beyond the issues that art has been traditionally dealing with. Thus artists are now entering domains once strictly reserved to science. The number of such projects, their nature and scope, as well we their results and consequences provoke questions not only about what science has given art, but also what art can give science.
