Publisher's Synopsis
The Arts and Sciences have long been regarded as separated disciplines. In the era of the rapidly developing computer technologies a novel interdisciplinary spirit has emerged that indicates a promising new collaboration between research and art. Computer Graphics, Interactive Arts, Scientific Visualization, Communication, Artificial Life and the Internet are areas where artistic thinking influences science and where scientific methodology reaches into the arts. "Art@Science brings together the pioneer thinkers in this interdisciplinary movement into the 21st century and features articles by: Philippe Quau, Maria Grazia Mattei, Ryohei Nakatsu, Donna J. Cox, Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz, Demetri Terzopoulos, Thomas S. Ray, Louis Bec, Machiko Kusahara, Michael Naimark, Monika Fleischmann & Wolfgang Strauss, Christa Sommerer & Laurent Mignonneau, Jeffrey Shaw, Peter Weibel, Gottfried Mayer-Kress, Otto E. Rossler, Toshiharu Ito, Hans-Peter Schwarz, Peter Richards, Itsuo Sakane, Michael Klein, Cynthia Goodman, Erkki Huhtamo, and Roy Ascott. "... This cultural bridge-building is attempted either through learning the skills of the other or through collaborative projects between artists and scientists/engineers ... a thought-provoking collection on good paper with high-quality illustrations.
