Hi Jennifer,
Design offers the necessary mechanics for artistic documentation - making
the artist an voluntary or involuntary designer. And there are numerous
examples of documentation that outreaches the artistic product itself. Imho,
good art is also theoretical and narrative. So, in one sentence: design
offers the means to document and exhibit and if done with expertise and
stimulating content is not just good art, it can be great art.
Best,
Natasha

Subject: Re: [Yasmin_discussions] Art/Sci Collab Presentation and
Documentation
Dear All,
Some more issues to perhaps facilitate the success of collaboration and
future collaborations is that of Documentation and Presentation. In the
world of art and science there are embedded paths of listeners, readers and
viewers that need to be re-investigated in relation to for instance:
process.
The methods to present research that comes from collaborations are not fully
developed. The current structures in which documentation is presented are
usually not equipped to deal with both getting across the scientific
relevance as well as the aesthetics. The value of the research results often
can not be fully appreciated until one has taken the time and effort to
understand the relevance. There is the issue of location and time, as the
results from such collaborations can not be understood in the minimal glance
a viewer takes in an art exhibition. In this sense an exhibition symposium
is still in it's infancy. Good artistic research does not necessarily
produce good art, so how to present results that are of significance in
relation to knowledge production, but initially are not seen as significant
within current art infrastructures? At the same time there is the challenge
of documenting process and understanding how the documentation is part of
the artwork as well as scientific data.
This provides challenges as to how to organize structures for these types of
knowledge productions. By professionalizing these aspects we facilitate
future collaborations in a way that provides the general public as well as
critics and historians new methods to understand, analyze and position
results that come from such collaborations.
Regards,
Jennifer Kanary
