Dialogues on Art and Science
Exploring synergies through design research
We live in a fragmented society where specialization and dichotomies are the order of the day. In this hostile environment, this research seek to prioritize convergences, encounters and dialogues between disciplines and knowledge, questioning the paradigm through postmodernist optics. Placing research in Barcelona, specifically in the field of art and science within the marine context, the possible encounters are explored and the tools, dynamics and artifacts that can help improve them, promoting interdisciplinarity as a tool towards a more complete and plural society.
If dialogue between artists and scientists is improved, the thesis questions of the two fields can be enhanced by opening minds, research lines and structures to ensure that more holistic work is carried out to find solutions to contemporary problems that are more sustainable, critical and have a social impact.
Here you will find a different resources, artefacts and tools that aim to encourage and improve such dialogues.
The symbiosis of art and science is a space of encounter and rebellion that advocates transdisciplinarity and interdependence. It seeks to challenge the boundaries between disciplines and generate new approaches through empathy and a posthumanist perspective that invites the permeability of knowledge.
This approach values people’s vulnerability through experimentation of ways of cooperation through practice. It is a critical and social field that uses speculation as a tool for knowledge generation. The dialogue between art and science uses the plurality of knowledge through rigorous and creative methodologies to embrace complexity from a multiple perspective.
