Art + Science Now is a groundbreaking overview
of the art being made at the cutting edge of scientific research.
The first illustrated book in its field, it shows how some of the
worlds most dynamic art is being produced not in museums, galleries
and studios but in the laboratory, where artists probe cultural,
philosophical and social questions connected with scientific and
technological advances. Featuring the work of around 250 artists
from the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, the USA, Japan and
elsewhere, it presents a broad range of projects, from body art to
bioengineering of plants and insects, from music, dance and
computer-controlled video performances to large-scale visual and
sound installations. This comprehensive guide to contemporary art
inspired or driven by scientific innovation points to intriguing
new directions for the visual arts and traces a key strand in
21st-century aesthetics.
