\nCollision, Collaboration and the Future of Artsci<\/p>\n
\nare gradually emerging into one world and possibilities. In 1959, C. P.
\nSnow described science and humanities as \u2018The Two Cultures\u2019, and this
\nhas prompted many disputes and much debate about whether there is a
\nsignificant gap between art and science. In 1987, theoretical physicist
\nDavid Bohm also highlighted the importance of creativity and
\ncommunication in science and humanities. In “The Third Culture” (1995),
\nJohn Brockman proposes the concept of a mediating third culture in
\nwhich scientists use literary language to convey their thoughts. In
\n“Art + Science Now” (2013), Stephen Wilson collects and introduces a
\ndiverse range of work and projects in which there is an intersection
\nbetween art and science, ranging from digital media to life sciences.
\nFurthermore, in “Colliding Worlds! (2014) Arthur I. Miller also
\nsuggests that an exciting new art movement has recently emerged in
\nwhich artists utilize and highlight the latest advances in science.<\/p>\n
\npublications, websites and funding schemes have emerged to support the
\nintersection and interaction of art and science. This new form of art
\npractice is challenging the traditional methods of viewing art. The
\nterm for this new form of art is now understood as \u2018artsci\u2019, a
\nhybridization of art and science. Artsci enriches the public image of
\nscience and serves as a new communication tool with which to engage the
\ngeneral public and help them to understand and question scientific
\nresearch and contemporary art practice.<\/p>\n
\nand what we would envision for the future of Artsci. Undoubtedly, the
\ndivision between art and science has collapsed and the two have
\ncollided, such that they are actually now merging and collaborating.
\nThe idea for the conference was established by the newly-formed program
\nof Techno Art at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) in Taiwan. It
\nalso acts as the 3rd International Symposium on Art & Technology (ISAT)
\nfor the Taiwan Art & Technology Association (ATATW). Furthermore,
\nCollision, Collaboration and the Future of Artsci is the first
\ninternational conference of the biennial conference series on art and
\ntechnology organised by Techno Art at NCKU.<\/p>\n
\nstem from all possibilities and imaginings, which may not be definable
\nand lack any finite dimensions. This conference focuses on the
\ninterchange of creativity and innovation with the aim to explore what
\nis new, to share ideas, to shape future collaboration, and to promote
\nexcellence in outstanding research and practice.<\/p>\n
