ARTISTS-IN-LABS: NETWORKING IN THE MARGINS is the second volume that blurs the boundaries between art and science research. Embodied within the margins of both disciplines lies a responsible attitude, which values citizen science, fantasy, fact, unexpected results and immersive education. This book presents case studies from 2007 to 2009 by 12 artists from the disciplines of sculpture, installation, performance and sound, in collaboration with scientists from the fields of physics, computer technologies, environmental ecology, neuroscience and psychology. While artists have become more involved in ethical and social debates about scientific discovery, scientists have been exposed to the processes and contexts of art. Thus, networking tends to expand the borders of the exact sciences and to cause a more robust level of dialogue from the humanities and the arts. These trans-disciplinary potentials are contextualized by 9 prominent authors, who each shed light on the future implications of such interactions for society. (DVD included)
