"IMPACT OF ARTISTIC IMAGINATION ON SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY IN 20th CENTURY"

Technological and scientific achievements from the conquest of space to
genetic cloning have transformed daily and intellectual life during the latter
half of the twentieth century. Yet science and technology do not progress in
a vacuum; diverse cultural developments have paved the way for discoveries and
achievements that have shaped our understanding of the world we inhabit. The
role that art has played in expanding the realm of the imagination, critical
to scientific and technological "discovery," has been particularly important
during the last half-century. Art does not merely react to conceptual shifts
brought about by revolutions in science and technology, it also inspires new
ways of thinking and working in these fields.
This panel, proposed as a studio art session for the College Art Association's
annual meeting in 2000, seeks to explore the nature of artistic/scientific/
technological collaboration during the second half of the twentieth
century. In particular, we would like to consider how artists have helped
scientists and technologists to devise new tools, models, or paradigms with
which to explore the natural world. Proposals for participation might
address the following questions: What can artists bring to science and
technology? Under what circumstances are collaborations most successful?
What does society at large stand to gain from these partnerships?
