simple answer :nowhen we say art and its constitution or science we cannot find the difference between, because since the creation of the WWW we can't ask these question. The cyberspace can gather scientists and artists in the same constitution of the internet virtual territories.By the creation of Yasmin network, art is very related to science in this mediterranean of the internet network
that was made by scientists... So there is no boundaries between artists and scientists in the two borders of real mediterranean basin...These virtual territories can present only one constitution for the two : art and science...To be continuedWafa

This year the Venice Biennial:
http://www.labiennale.org/en/Home.html
promises to be the most successful ever with a record of national
participation despite the last minute withdrawal of some Middle
-Eastern countries like Lebanon. One of the 5 questions that artistic
director Bice Curriger asked all the participating artists is: "If art were
a nation, what would its constitution be?"
The current turn of events in the MENA countries will change the face
of the region for ever. New media is viewed as the critical factor in
creating political and social change.
Have new media, and social media reached a critical point
where they can help build a country from the bottom-up, or can they only
topple governements for the moment? What is the
relation with contemporary art practices? Is there still a
possibility for individual agency through new media and
art, and is the Biennial format the last place to explore new
political models?
In keeping with the YASMIN aim to network artists and
scientists around the Mediterranean, we propose to couple
the discussion to the related question.
Science Agency and its Constitution. "If Science were a Nation,
what would its constitution be?"
