We have entered the experimental ageExperiments
are no longer conducted just in the laboratory. They
have become collective experiments that concern
each and every one of us. Bruno Latour, 2004
What is experimentation? What makes artexperimental? What are
the results of aesthetic
experiments and why do we need them? Could
artists invent new modes of experimentation with/
for science? What are the differences between
experiments and inventions; experiments and failures;
experiment and innovation? How do we set up ethico-
scientific-aesthetic experiments?
This conference will showcase and discuss
innovative arts projects by leading practitioners,
thinkers and research groups that model new
forms of transdisciplinarity and offer new ways ofaddressing
real-world issues. These include works
that have successfully changed the world as well
as speculative initiatives that radically change the
way we think. It will survey the results and potential
of Experimental Arts, inviting leaders in the field to
discuss how we can extend and support a platform
for path-breaking experimentation.
