Abstract
This chapter explores the nature of collaboration in inter-disciplinary art and technology projects. It draws upon the COSTART project described in Chapter ‘A Million Millennial Medicis’. Other inter-disciplinary initiatives took place outside the academic context. For example, in 1996 the Wellcome Trust U.K. launched the ‘SciArt’ funding programme in response to a growing field of artists embarking on new projects in conjunction with scientists. Many of these initiatives are no longer active but nevertheless, the precedents were important in demonstrating the potential benefit for creative work. Communication for interdisciplinary collaboration, shared languages, cognitive styles, and the role of knowledge are all discussed. Finally, observed success factors for good collaboration are reported. The core chapter is followed by eight contributions on the subject from artists and researchers.
