Dear Yasminers,
I m happy to follow with our discussion introductory texts, this time with
some words from Gustavo Ariel Schwartz, Physics researcher and Writer,
based in San Sebastian, Spain.

YASMIN discussion
Introductory text
Gustavo Ariel Schwartz
This is, of course, a personal view based on my own experience and it is
far from being a complete landscape of the Art/Sci practices. In the
following, I will include the writers when I talk about the ?artists?
because most of the interactions in the Mestizajes programme were in the
field of the literature (although Art/Sci practices also took place). What
I observe in general, is that the ?where?, the space where the Art/Sci
interchange takes place, is biased towards scientific scenarios
(laboratories, research institutes, Universities, etc.). It is not so
common to have this kind of interaction or hybridization in art museums,
main libraries or Humanities departments at the University. This also
defines the ?who?, in the sense that artists can easily apply for
residences or short stays at ?scientific scenarios? but scientists cannot
do the same in the other direction.
Concerning to the acquisition of their scientific and/or artistic
knowledge, my feeling (and my own experience) is that it is by far
self-teaching and therefore it is hardly free of errors and mistakes (in
both cases). In this sense, a much stronger interaction between artists and
scientists could substantially improve the knowledge that each one would
have about the other field. This interaction could be materialized not only
by offering ?courses? (science for artists or art for scientists) but also
(and mainly) by the face-to-face interaction between scientists and artists
in workshops, conferences, meeting and informal talks. There is still a
long way to go in this sense.
