Description of the

Eine Veranstaltung der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Medien und Kunst/Kunst und Medien der Gesellschaft für Medienwissenschaft

The workshop deals with fundamental questions of the relationship between aesthetic (i.e. artistic/design) practice and scientific knowledge. It is about a basic orientation that affects science and art equally: The trend towards praxeology in the humanities points to a break-up of traditional categories according to which knowledge is only conceptual and intellectual - especially at art colleges, aesthetic practices are also seen as promoting knowledge. Whether and to what extent knowledge can emerge from creative and/or design processes will be discussed by theorists and artists/art researchers on the basis of current theories and concrete artistic examples.
