In the interval – situate and be situated

understand the artistic and scientific mediation

 

A professional day proposed as part of the Multiple World-s 2022 meeting, displays research fields explored by a number of artists, scientists and partners with which Antre Peaux collaborates in its daily life. The association supports, develops and diffuses actually visual arts, bio media, multimedia and living shows, in and beyond the walls, in association with the local, national, European, and international professional and educative networks. Together, the artistic and scientific mediations interrogate on the relationships to develop with the publics, the formats to invent or revisit and the truest possible positionings to enable a real meeting with the contemporary stakes, forms, and approaches.

 

Historically, the conceptions and practices linked to meditation are different in arts and science and the places that these mediations have occupied in these disciplinary fields are not equivalent. However, the epistemological approach, critical, and philosophical study of sciences, has encompassed for a few decades the study of the creation processes used in artistic steps confronted to methodologies of human and social science, nature science (physics, chemistry and biology) and logico-mathematics sciences (mathematics, logics, and informatics). Between story and the becoming of sciences, history and becoming of arts, the common ground of mediation seems yet to be cleared.

 

How to particularly broach the mediation that aims to create meetings with works at the crossing of these two disciplinary fields and these two stories? How to articulate knowledge and emotions, the experiences, and sensations to come even closer to these projects situated between arts and sciences? In a time where to think of art or science as hermetic fields to contemporary societal and environmental stakes is foreclosed, the stake of this day is to develop a collective reflection and to produce common resources.
