DESCRIPTION
Våren 1999 var jag med och arrangerade en konferens i San Antonio i USA. Temat var utbildning inom områden som teknik och matematik. Jag tog tillfället i akt att ge min syn på hur konst och vetenskap kommer att flyta samman i framtiden, inte minst genom inverkan av IT. Så här i efterhand ser jag att jag föregriper t.ex.

Dr. Johan Groth 1910/04/23E-mail [email protected] WWW http://www,pi.se/gogab Page 2
Historically no clear distinction between subjects Mathematics and music Philosophy and physics Politics and theology
“How” and “why”
Division of knowledge II
Dr. Johan Groth 1910/04/23E-mail [email protected] WWW http://www,pi.se/gogab Page 3
Today a clear distinction between subjects Natural science Technology Social sciences Humanities Art
Division of knowledge and school
Dr. Johan Groth 1910/04/23E-mail [email protected] WWW http://www,pi.se/gogab Page 4

Based on open standardsScaleableGlobally accepted and growing rapidlyAvailable without major investmentsCost efficientExperienced as a transparent platform

What does this mean?
Dr. Johan Groth 1910/04/23E-mail [email protected] WWW http://www,pi.se/gogab Page 10
New ways to communicate New ways to exchange informationNew types of knowledgeNew types of co-operationChanges in how we live, learn and work

Dr. Johan Groth 1910/04/23E-mail [email protected] WWW http://www,pi.se/gogab Page 15
Handle all information types with one toolEasy and cheap to create information in any
formatPossible to reach a world wide audienceNo more broadcastingInitiative will come from the receiver
Changes –Information will be concurrent
Dr. Johan Groth 1910/04/23E-mail [email protected] WWW http://www,pi.se/gogab Page 16
Printed = permanentPossible to change with timePossible to change with userPossible to change with user’s needs
Changes –An invisible development
Dr. Johan Groth 1910/04/23E-mail [email protected] WWW http://www,pi.se/gogab Page 17
Material flows and information are separatedServices become more importantProducts become ”invisible”Companies become ”invisible””Hard to explain what you are doing”
The changes and the division of knowledge
Dr. Johan Groth 1910/04/23E-mail [email protected] WWW http://www,pi.se/gogab Page 18
All information formats available for allLess “number crunching”, more imaginationGlobal “meetings”, wider perspectivesAttract the audiencePersonal services and products
Effects on the educational sector I

Interactive multimedia toolAims at “supporting the conceptualisation
and exploration” of various phenomenaE.g. symmetry in mathematics, physics and
musichttp://www.nada.kth.se/cid/
Example: The Garden of Knowledge

National research instituteMedia, art and ITCross-disciplinary research settingDistributed organisationBetween academy and commercial sectorInterest in different competencies
Example: The Interactive Institute
Dr. Johan Groth 1910/04/23E-mail [email protected] WWW http://www,pi.se/gogab Page 23
There exists a division of knowledgeUnnecessary constraints in research and
educationInternet offers new ways to handle I & CInternet appears to diminish the division of
knowledge
