| Summary: | Biographical note: Sarah M. Schlachetzki (Dr. phil.) is an art historian and has taught contemporary art history at the University of Zurich. Her research interests include general questions in art sociology, media art, and art's significance in post-dictatorship Argentina Main description: Why do Japanese artists team up with engineers in order to create so-called »Device Art«? What is a nanoscientist's motivation in approaching the artworld? In the past few years, there has been a remarkable increase in attempts to foster the exchange between art, technology, and science - an exchange taking place in academies, museums, or even in research laboratories. Media art has proven especially important in the dialogue between these cultural fields. This book is a contribution to the current debate on »art & science«, interdisciplinarity, and the discourse of innovation. It critically assesses artistic positions that appear as the ongoing attempt to localize art's position within technological and societal change - between now and the future |
