Wie können Grenzen spezifischen Wissens überschritten werden?
Welchen Wert hat der Austausch von praktischen und theoretischen Verfahren?
Wie nehmen Kunstschaffende und WissenschaftlerInnen ihre Arbeit gegenseitig wahr?

This book verifies the need for the arts and the sciences to work together in order to develop more creative and conceptual approaches to innovation and presentation. By blending ethnographical case studies, scientific viewpoints and critical essays, the focus of this research inquiry is the lab context. For scientists, the lab context is one of the most important educational experiences. For contemporary artists, laboratories are inspiring spaces to investigate, share know-how transfer and search for new collaboration potentials. The nine labs represented in this book are from the natural, computing and engineering sciences. An enclosed comprehensive DVD documents the results, the problems and serves as a guideline for the future of true Art/Sci experiments. [..]

Im Rahmen des Swiss artists-in-labs Kunststipendiums 2007 erarbeiten die beiden KünstlerInnen Hina Strüver und Mätti Wüthrich mit “Regrowing Eden” eine künstlerische Abbildung des aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Diskurses um Gentechnologie. Mit Rauminstallationen und Performances im öffentlichen Raum in der Schweiz, Brasilien und Vietnam – Länder, in denen die ETH gentechnologische Projekte durchführt – werden die materiellen Erfahrungen aus den ETH-Laboratorien zu Gentechnologie und der sie umgebenden Risikoforschung künstlerisch reflektiert und für verschiedene Zielgruppen erfahrbar gemacht.

Results of the Swiss artists-in-labs program

For all the labs involved the ail project was a very satisfying and through-provoking experience, and the benefits included improvements in public relations for science, effective benefits for both artists and scientists in terms of know-how transfer and ways of thinking. Also there were benefits about the future development of tools. All nine partners and the HGKZ would like to find a way to continue this project. Forschungsergebnisse ail programm
