Synopsis: Contributors investigate the motivation behind scientifically-embedded contemporary art practices as well as art-based scientific research and engagement that attempt to shape society. This edited volume reflects the rapidly developing practices comprising integrative and collaborative work across different knowledge domains (including art and science), the benefit of those processes to the individual, to knowledge production (and its complexity) and ultimately the benefits to society (why it is worth doing). The book will provide an overview of the factors in which the exhibition and performance of scientifically-engaged art inside and outside of traditional museum spaces has instigated cultural and aesthetic transformations and social interactions while presenting a variety of opportunities for educators, scientists, artists and the interested public to critically expand its engagement. The book is intended for scholars interested in collaborative and/or integrative work who study research, methodology, art history, science, and museum studies.
