This book explores collaboration between artists and scientists and examines the ways in which scientific data and research findings can be communicated, translated and transformed using the techniques of contemporary art and information technology. Contemporary art forms-including installation, sculpture, painting, computer-based art, Internet art and interactive electronic artworks-are able to provide new and creative outlets, with expanded audiences, for scientific research. The book is important in the field because it presents a thorough account of art-science collaboration through the eyes of a leading creative practitioner and a leading cultural theorist. The text contains a wide range of in-detail examples of successful collaborative works that illustrate the breadth and depth of contemporary inter-disciplinary creative-research approaches. The book features 75 illustrations of works created as a result of art-science collaboration between scientists and artists.

John Potts is a professor of media at Macquarie University, Australia. He is interested in culture and technology, digital media, media history, contemporary arts, and intellectual history. Prof. Potts has published more than 10 books, 15 book chapters, and 30 articles.
