dimensions in collaboration
How are artists and scientists exploring Einstein's legacy, not as individuals, but through
art-sci collaborative projects? In 1998, Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI), took
a leap of faith that artists and scientists were ready to come together in a public symposium
to present their projects, share their thoughts on collaboration and dispel misconceptions about
the 'two cultures' of C.P. Snow. By ArtSci2001, new collaborative models had evolved and we found
scientists presenting alongside their artist partners. This emergent cultural paradigm that is
developing around the world, has raised new questions on issues surrounding artscience practice.
In this 4th international art-sci symposium, organized by ASCI, we continue to build a visible
context for the nascent field of artscience practice by publicly sharing and documenting exemplary
models of art-sci collaborations while providing a valuable information hub, collaborative tools,
and an open forum for dialogue about current artscience practice and interdisciplinary collaboration
in general.
This year, nine prominent collaborating institutions working in the field of artscience practice
have helped produce the event as a future model for self-sustainability:
*Arts Council of England [Collaborative
Arts Unit]*
*Arts Department, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute,
Troy, NY*
*Australian Network for Art & Technology
[ANAT]*
*Banff New Media Institute (BNMI), Banff
Centre, Alberta, Canada*
*Design | Media Arts at UCLA School of
the Arts and Architecture*
*Leonardo/ISAST
(International Society for Art, Science, & Technology)*
*Radical Project/The SMARTlab Centre, The
London Institute*
*School of Art & Design, University
of Michigan*
*Science and the
Arts Program, CUNY Graduate Center*
