>"Looking Forward/Looking Back:  The Impact of the Artistic Imagination on
>Science and Technology During the Second Half of the Twentieth Century"
>
>Technological and scientific achievements from the conquest of space to
>genetic cloning have transformed daily and intellectual life during the latter
>half of the twentieth century.  Yet science and technology do not progress in
>a vacuum; diverse cultural developments have paved the way for discoveries and
>achievements that have shaped our understanding of the world we inhabit.  The
>role that art has played in expanding the realm of the imagination, critical
>to scientific and technological "discovery," has been particularly important
>during the last half-century. Art does not merely react to conceptual shifts
>brought about by revolutions in science and technology, it also inspires new
>ways of thinking and working in these fields.
>
>This panel, proposed as a studio art session for the College Art Association's
>annual meeting in 2000, seeks to explore the nature of artistic/scientific/
>technological collaboration during the second half of the twentieth
>century.  In particular, we would like to consider how artists have helped
>scientists and technologists to devise new tools, models, or paradigms with
>which to explore the natural world.  Proposals for participation might
>address the following questions:  What can artists bring to science and
>technology?  Under what circumstances are collaborations most successful?
>What does society at large stand to gain from these partnerships?
