Merging of Art & Science
The Coming of a Third Culture

Abstract:
Today the term ‘art and science’ is on everyone’s lips. But what is it and where is it going? I predict that in the future art and science – the traditional ‘two cultures’ that still often eye each other warily – will fuse to form a ‘third culture’. Interdisciplinarity will become a discipline and art and science as we know them will disappear. Aesthetics and art itself will be redefined.

To explore this I will look at the interplay between art and science in the 20th and 21st centuries. How do collaborations between artists and scientists come about and how do these collaborations work? How does science affect art and art affect science? Are art and science fusing into a third culture and if so what will this third culture be like? I will look at these questions and more using illustrations and examples.
