SKILLED ART ENGENHO & ARTE


SKILLED ART ENGENHO & ARTE
Defining art is not an easy task and may be an impossible one. Nonetheless, it can be stated that experiencing art inevitably implies transformations of consciousness.
Artists have specialized on developing technologies and implementing techniques in the design of artistic experiences. Therefore, in the present context of consciousness studies, artists are emerging as relevant contributors. Being technologies a consequence of scientific developments, artistic practice becomes an interesting experimental method for the generation of new knowledge. Art is transdisciplinary by nature, independently of the channels of expression used. Strategies are needed for the integration of this ways of thinking amongst different scientific communities and within civil society. The aim of this conference is to discuss principles to be applied in the creation of these strategies and in consequent future transdisciplinary practices.
