Antennae #47 Experiment - Paperback

by Giovanni Aloi (Editor), Jonathon Keats (Author), Margaret Wertheim (Author)

This issue of 'Antennae' explores the rise of interest in art and science collaborations. Partly because of the resonance of the posthuman cyborg in the ontological turn; because of the rise of Bio Art; because of the prominence that multidisciplinarity has acquired in academia; and surely in light of our fraught relationship with our environment and climate change, the intersections between art and science have recently become more complexly de ned by new ethical, political, aesthetic, and poetic registers.

This project is co-edited in collaboration with American artist and philosopher Jonathon Keats whose bold experiments have raise serious questions and put into practice his conviction that the world needs more "curious amateurs," willing to explore publicly whatever intrigues them in de ance of a culture that increasingly forecloses on wonder and silos knowledge into narrowly defined areas of expertise.
