from disonancias and improbables (the new project we are just starting), we think that it is very important at the beginning of the collaboration that the 2 parts express their motivation to work together. why are they in the project? what for?
we gather the diferent partners and we use different tools (a card play by françois deck, a game to swap roles between artists and managers/scientists, by aniabas, etc.) to make them express their deep motivation and values to start the process from a clear basis.
it something quite simple but very effective to come over the cultural and professional dissonances.
best,

New discussion Topic / Nouvelle Discussion
Doing and Studying International Collaboration in the
Science, Arts
and the Humanities
During the next couple of weeks we will have a discussion
topic of
collaboration in the arts,sciences, engineering and the
humanities.
It is a feature of work at the interface of the
arts,sciences and
technology that cross disciplinary collaboration is often
required to
achieve the kindsof projects that motivate us. One example
is the
EMOBILART collaboration that involved 35 different artists
to develop
more than a dozen art works:
http://www.media.uoa.gr/~charitos/emobilart/
We will be benefiting from the participation of the Patrick
McCray who
is a science historian currently in residence at IMERA:
http://www.imera.fr/index.php/en/homepage/107.html
who has been writing about large science projects that involve
collaboration. We are holding a small workshop at the end of
June in
Marseille on the topic:
Thème : Doing and Studying International Collaboration in
the Science
and the Humanities
"International collaborations have long been a feature of the
scientific landscape. Increasingly, humanities and social
science
scholars from different countries are also collaborating
with one
another on long-term projects. Patrick McCray, a resident at
IMERA in
Marseille, has on-going study of the ITER project in
conjunction with
Samuel Bordreuil's research group in Aix and the UCSB's
Center for
Nanotechnology in Society are two examples of international
collaborations in science .
The arts, sciences and engineering are different cultures with
different methodologies, institutional structures and
histories. How
do collaboration cultures differ within the sciences,
engineering and
the arts
and humanities ? And what special problems do collaborations
between
these cultures involve ?
