When Art, Science and Technology Interact (original) (raw)

One of the objectives of the paper is to ignite a productive debate on the overlapping tendencies of art and the exact natural sciences, as well as to address the educational dimension of these intersections. The paper presents some results of the research realised within the project titled Useful Symbiosis carried out in 2014, the main outcome of which was the book tilted Useful Symbiosis: Science, Technology, Art & Art Education which was published two years later. In this project, we were interested in the relationship between visual arts and sciences and their technical applications. Apart from introductory and rather theoretical overviews, the paper also lists particular examples of these symbioses in which we demonstrate that science sometimes 'does art' as well as art can 'do science', and sometimes the borders between art and science disappear altogether. The overlapping tendency of science and art is also topical in education. We will also tackle the problem of the isolation of individual educational fields in contemporary education, the relationship between individual subjects, and the process of overcoming the transmissive approach to teaching.
