Hi all

I would like to reply to Joao?s thoughts.

From my point of view, we should distinguished between general and specific ArtSci collaborations. In the last case, this kind of collaboration could become an established area of practice; let say: a discipline. This could be, for example, the case of visual artists collaborating with neuroscientists in problems related to visual perception. There are too many things to do in this field and this collaboration could last for decades. On the other hand, there are very general explorations of the borders between art and science that can hardly become a discipline due to its general character. Trying to fit this kind of exploration into a discipline could eventually fade its purpose.

Best,
G/
