Science and Society: Art and Science - Collaborations Between Artists and Scientists
Session ID#: 157080
Session Description:
Both artists and scientists translate every day abstractions into knowledge and objects that help us explore and understand the world around us. The synthesis of art and science can lead to improved communication of results and visualization of data, and the integration of art making with the scientific process can yield inter- and transdisciplinary methodologies that enable connections between science and society. Collaborations of art and science have proven valuable for bringing together groups of diverse backgrounds and producing works that not only effectively communicate the urgency of headline issues such as climate change, but also improve the actual production of scientific knowledge. This session welcomes work from scientists, artists, designers, and creators who have successfully integrated art, design, and science. We encourage abstracts about collaborations between artists and scientists throughout a project, and from communities that have historically been marginalized in both art and science spaces.
