Experiment: Conversations in art and science

This book showcases some of the ground-breaking projects funded by the Sciart Consortium between 2000-2002.

Embraced by some and dismissed by others, collaboration between these two highly divergent cultures is now a dynamic area of practice. Increasing numbers of artists and scientists are exploring each other's ideas, materials and working methods.

'Experiment: conversations in art and science' - edited by Bergit Arends and Davina Thackara - is about people and ideas, and showcases projects where the disciplines of science and art interact to colour and enhance each other. In each project, the scientists and artists work together; in the book they describe their aspirations for the project and their work behind it.

Thought-provoking essays and evocative imagery illustrate an array of projects representing subjects as diverse as marine biology, infectious diseases, surgical procedures, inaudible sound, cognitive behavioural therapy and time-space awareness in young people with disabilities.
