Abstract
Interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary, intermedia, transmedia and multimedia are becoming ever more prominent within the sciences, technology and the arts. These new ways of conceiving knowledge and its products creates opportunities and confusion about objectives. To stimulate discussion about where new arts and sciences should intersect, we propose an overarching synthesis we call “ArtScience” [1]. ArtScience integrates all human knowledge through the processes of invention and exploration [2]. It is both new and old, conservative and revolutionary, playful and serious. It enfolds the work of such liminal figures as Etienne Jules Marey, Loie Fuller, Harold “Doc” Edgerton, Alexander Calder, Lejaren Hiller, John Cage, Gerald Oster, Frank Malina, Lillian Schwartz, Buckminster Fuller, Gyorgy Kepes and Piotr Kowalski, yet it proffers an infinite variety of future possibilities. ArtScience will move art out of galleries and museums, science from its laboratories and journals, into newly invented spaces and places modeled after MIT’s Media Lab [3], La Laboratoire in Paris [4], SymbioticA in Perth [5] and Harvard University’s Initiative for Innovative Computing (IIC) [6], which already do scientific exploration, engineering, design and artistic display in a single space. Other novel venues will be invented. In that inventiveness lies the excitement of ArtScience. ArtScience Manifesto:
