Over the last two decades, multiple initiatives of
transdisciplinary collaboration across art, science, and technology
have seen the light of day. Why, by whom, and under what
circumstances are such initiatives promoted? What does their
experimental character look like - and what can be learned,
epistemologically and institutionally, from probing the multiple
practices of "art/science" at work? In answer to the questions
raised, Practicing Art/Science contrasts topical positions and
insightful case studies, ranging from the detailed investigation of
"art at the nanoscale" to the material analysis of Leonardo's Mona
Lisa and its cracked smile. In so doing, this volume brings to bear
the "practice turn" in science and technology studies on the
empirical investigation of multifaceted experimentation across
contemporary art, science, and technology in situ. Against the
background of current discourse on "artistic research," the
introduction not only explains the particular relevance of the
"practice turn" in STS to tackle the interdisciplinary task at
hand, but offers also a timely survey of varying strands of
artistic experimentation. In bringing together ground-breaking
studies from internationally renowned scholars and upcoming
researchers in sociology, art theory and artistic practice, as well
as history and philosophy of science, Practicing Art/Science will
be essential reading for practitioners and professionals in said
fields, as well as postgraduate students and representatives of
higher education and research policy more broadly.
