Artistic experimentation: Bringing research closer to the public

A new generation of artists is emerging who are highly skilled in science and technology and who are keen to be involved in scientific research dynamics since they already perceive art along the same parameters. They are in fact already contributing in the same science system in several ways by breaking disciplinary boundaries and including a more emotional dimension in their conceptualisation of scientific knowledge. In reference to the space-time constraints of a science museum, it is interesting to juxtapose this art-and-science practise with the notion that visitors are no longer consumers of the output of science; they are no longer left only to decide whether they are closed or open to the new ideas, but could also become a driving force within research.
