- Call for participation - Synthetic Aesthetics
Resources will be made available for ‘embedded residencies’, in which artists and designers will spend time in laboratories, and scientists and engineers in artistic studios and design workspaces. - Body of evidence | Art and design | The Observer
new book, Art + Science Now (Thames & Hudson), which features the work of more than 250 artists from around the world and claims to be the first illustrated survey of its kind. Its editor, Stephen Wilson, identifies artistic continuums – locating biological and ecological artists who work with living systems as the descendants of the Land artists of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, for instance. But some practitioners, especially the young ones, "see themselves as outside the worlds of both art and science, and are attempting to carve out a new niche of cultural experimentation and invention".
