Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This book verifies the need for the arts and the sciences to work together in order to develop more creative and conceptual approaches to innovation and presentation. By blending ethnographical case studies, scientific viewpoints and critical essays, the focus of this research inquiry is the lab context. For scientists, the lab context is one of the most important educational experiences. For contemporary artists, laboratories are inspiring spaces to investigate, share know-how transfer and search for new collaboration potentials. The nine labs represented in this book are from the natural, computing and engineering sciences. An enclosed comprehensive DVD documents the results, the problems and serves as a guideline for the future of true Art/Sci experiments.

DVD includes 13 documetaries about the artists in labs projects.

n Description: Contents: Essays -- Case studies -- Life sciences -- Physics -- Computing/Engineering -- Biographies -- DVD and analyses.
