Re-composing Art and Science is a reflective investigation into the processes of theory and practice in the arts and the sciences. Here eight case studies highlight the differences of how an artist collaborates within the disciplines of biology, environmental science and neuroscience, while eight essayists offer various opinions and analysis about the potentials and problems that are unique about this interface between arts and the sciences. This book continues the legacy of transdisciplinary investigation at the Institute for Cultural Studies in the Arts, University of the Arts Zurich.
