Abstract

A very practical experience that artists and scientists experience frequently in artscience collaboration are the new and often surprising connections artscience collaboration can create: within the own field, related fields, and between the disciplines. For example, artist Anna Dumitriu, who experienced residencies in many scientific institutions, referred to her scientific network as valuable for her scientific partners. On the other hand, scientists can establish new connections for artists, and it is interesting for organizations (corporations and laboratories) to explore artscience collaborations for creating new intra-organizational connections or potential projects with new organizational partners.
