Science Is not Art…but we sure need some help..
Or why a Scientist is now in a School of Arts and Humanities
Roger F MalinaDistinguished Chair of Arts and Technology
And Professor of PhysicsUniversity of Texas at Dallas

the burgeoning art-science scene• Sociologist Samuel
Bordreuil, Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies:
• « New social practices are emerging..IMERA will provide an environnement where they can be encouraged and studied »
• <<< Drew Hemment:
• Bio-Tagging

To….scientific transdisciplinarity:Institut Pytheas in Aix Marseille
University• Brings together four « observational disciplines »
– Astronomy– Ecology and Biodiversity– GeoSciences/Environmental Sciences– Oceanography
• It is really really difficult: – Data, IP, Methods, Societal Contexts, Funding Cultures– Big Data transitions, Curricula
• There are good reasons why we have disciplines• Science is in-homogeneous, Must be problem driven
![Page 5: Roger Malina ucsb final](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013114/554e75bdb4c9054a698b4d75/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why should astronomers work with ecologists ?
• 03HP Climate Change Observatory
• Installed at Observatoire de Haute Provence
• Long term monitoring of ecological drift
• Controlled experiment on reduced rain fall
• Spectrometer for foliage monitoring

To Art-Science-Technology The Leonardo Organisations
• Journal Founded 1967 Paris• Founded ISAST San Francisco• Founded OLATS Paris
• For Scientists deeply engaged in the arts and humanities
• For Artists Seeking to appropriate science and technology for cultural purposes
• Burning Issues of our Times: When
artists and scientists must work together
– Victoria Vesna, Jim Gimzewski, Blue Morph

Leonardo Organisations :44 years, 6000 authors , MIT Press
Arts & New Technologies………&Sciences…..Leonardo Book Series, Journals, e-zines
• 1967 – 1995 the central issues were art and technology• 1995- Art-Science as a burgeoning nexus• Humanities, Social Sciences, Design “nubs”
![Page 10: Roger Malina ucsb final](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013114/554e75bdb4c9054a698b4d75/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Evolution of the Leonardo Knowledge Network over >40 years
cf Leydesdorff and Salah• Maps on the basis of the
Arts & Humanities Citation Index: The journals Leonardo and Art Journal, and ‘Digital Humanities’ as a topic,”
• • (Journal of the American Society for
Information Science and
Technology 61(4) (2010) 787-801

Why Now• Cf Goldberg and Davidsen: Future of Learning
Institutions in the Digital Age– Computers and Humanities to….Digital Humanities
to….Networked Knowledge – Citizen Science Movements, Intimate Science– Transformative nature of on line practice
• Critical Mass of Art-Science Practice– Innovation/Creativity industries– NRC Mitchell report « Beyond Productivity »– Art-Science vs Art-Technology– …… Beyond Creativity ? The economic/environmental
crises are foregrounding
• Societal Urgency: Art-Science as a Hard Humanity « Translational » Humanities cf Translational Medecine
![Page 13: Roger Malina ucsb final](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013114/554e75bdb4c9054a698b4d75/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Is Science in Trouble ?• 1945 « Science the Endless
Frontier » report, Vannevar Bush
• "New frontiers of the mind are before us,
• and if they are pioneered with the same vision, boldness, and drive with which we have wagedthis war
• we can create a fuller and more fruitful employment and a fuller and more fruitful life."--
FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT November 17, 1944.

Common Science does not Make Common Sense ?
• .• 2012: Alan Leshner, President of
the American Association for the Advancement of Science:
• « The link between science and the rest of society is a little fragile these days »….
• « ..must engage with the public on the issues and seek common ground »
• - Encroaching on values• - Integrity of the scientific
enterprise• - Need for ‘public engagement » in
the setting of priorities
![Page 15: Roger Malina ucsb final](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013114/554e75bdb4c9054a698b4d75/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Towards « socially robust science « ?
• Helga Nowotny, President European Research Council:
• « ..Society is moving into a position where it is increasingly able to communicate its wishes, desires and fears to Science »
• Harold Vasselin artist in residence at the Provence Climate Change Observatory
• .

The “triple helix” of academy/governt/industry
Patent Services
Patent Licensing
But what about the Arts and Humanities in all of this ?
Coupling to Culture and Society ?
![Page 17: Roger Malina ucsb final](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013114/554e75bdb4c9054a698b4d75/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
« Beyond the Triple Helix of Innovation Theory »
cf Gerald Barnett : 3rd Gen Innovation Theory• Innovation theory traditionally
seeks to cross link:– Universities, Corporations, Government–
• Missing Strands– Cultural Imaginary drivers
• Artists and designers as Inventors and Researchers
– Social Innovation– Philanthropy 2.0– New Locii of Innovation– Non Profit , Non Governmental Sector
• Temporary Autonomous Zones• Learning Institutions in Digital Age

Emerging« Types » of Art-Science Practice
• Type I: Mutual Influence, Dual Outputs– Teams– Dual Career Scientist-Artists. Engineer-Artists
• Type II: Artistic Creativity as a domain for Scientific Inquiry• Type III: Culturally transformative technological developments Artists as Inventors, Entrepreneurs• Type IV: Cultural Appropriation• Type V: converting STEM to STEAM
![Page 33: Roger Malina ucsb final](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013114/554e75bdb4c9054a698b4d75/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The Scientific Method as a Territory for Artistic Experimentation:
Data and Models as Sources• Forming intuition on mediated sensory data• Sonification, Cross Modal transfers• Designing/Interacting with simulated systems• Making sense of dense data, petabyte era
• Making Science Intimate• Peoples Science• Micro Science
• New Ontologies, New Intuitions,New Sensuality• Can Art-Science practice lead to new scientific practices ?

The values question:Ethos of Scientific Curiositycf Bunge 2006, Morton
• Intellectual Honesty
• Integrity
• Epistemic Communism
• Organized skepticism
• Dis-interestedness
• Impersonality
• Universality
![Page 36: Roger Malina ucsb final](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013114/554e75bdb4c9054a698b4d75/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Towards an Ethics of Curiositycf Sundar Sarukkai: Science and the Ethics of Curiosity 2009
• Curiosity is embodied• Curiosity is enacted• Curiosity is cultural• Curiosity is social• Curiosity is collective
• The claimed distinction between “pure” and “applied” science is not sustainable
• In some cultures, eg some Indian traditions, doubt rather than curiosity is a dominant driver ( cf Descartes)
• “Beware of binary oppositions” !
• An example of Leshner’s Values Conflict
![Page 37: Roger Malina ucsb final](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013114/554e75bdb4c9054a698b4d75/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Hard Humanities ?Translational Humanities ?
• Anthropogenic impact driving global change on time scale commensurate with generations.
• RaPID Global economic restructuring
• Culture has always in the past adapted after the fact to changing conditions– Winners and losers
Is Culture is now a design problem ?
