We know
• That we have built a civilisation that is unsustainable
![Page 4: roger Malina for diana dominguez 09](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554a2543b4c90520578b4867/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
We need the “hard humanities”
• Four hundred years ago Galileo Galilei “invented” the telescope
• 150 years ago Darwin published his “Origin of the Species”
• ? How are we developing today the new culture that will allow us to create a sustainable civilisation ?

We know “landscape artists” butwhat is a “Climate Artist” ?

We know the taste of water…………..……… But what is the song of CO2 ?

Modern Science Doesnt Make Common Sense
• Most knowledge about our world now comes through scientific instruments
o Few people have experience of mediated senses
• Most of the world isnt on human scales• Nano science• Femto physics
• Our intuition, languages, metaphors, arts are built training on the wrong data for survival
![Page 8: roger Malina for diana dominguez 09](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554a2543b4c90520578b4867/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Techno-Science as a Territory for Artistic Experimentation
• Forming intuition on mediated sensory data• Designing/Interacting with simulated systems• Making sense of dense data, petabyte era• Coupling the virtual world to the physical world
• Making Science Intimate• Peoples Science• Micro Science
• New Ontologies and Epistemologies– New Intuitions,
» New Sensuality
![Page 9: roger Malina for diana dominguez 09](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554a2543b4c90520578b4867/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why Collaborate and Network ?
• The burning issues of our times require us to work differently
• The Hard Humanities require artists and scientists or engineers to work together– Coupling micro-science to cultural change
• Existing social networks re-enforce old approaches and protect old values– The tyranny of geography and personal history– Our institutional structures reflect other ways of thinking that
created an unsustainable civilisation

The LEONARDO organisations and networks: An evolving story….
• Leonardo an organisation founded in the 1960’s– A generation of survivors of World War II – Creation of new international science organisations– A 1950 ‘social contract” between science and government
• Cultural appropriation of science and new technologies:– The “case for art-science-technology interaction”
• The birth of “digital “ culture– Success of the computer art pioneers
• R and D budgets of game/entertainment now driving technology
– But now we need RADICAL DIGITAL

And now….?
• « Ask Not What the Sciences can do for the Arts…Ask what the Arts can do for the Sciences¨….Roy Ascott– The « Strong Case » for art-science-technology interaction
• Enabling and Promoting the New Leonardos– The mission of the Leonardo organisation and networks– The individual as genius versus the team as genius– The cultural transformation of networked collaborations

Muliple Modes to Mediated Sensuality
• INTIMATE SCIENCE:« ownership of the data
about ones ownenvironment »
• Peoples or Citizen Science
• OPEN OBSERVATORIES :
» distributed and open science »
![Page 15: roger Malina for diana dominguez 09](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062312/554a2543b4c90520578b4867/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
.• Open Observatories:
• The RIGHT to the data that exists about you and your environment
• Micro-Science o Micro Science is to the National Science Foundation What Micro Credit is to the World Bank “PRO-AM” Professional Amateurs
• Making science intimateo Owning data about your own environmento Science creating communities own their knowledgeo Building intution, language from mediated sensory
experienceo
• Science- Art Projects and Art-Science Projects• Art driven driven science and engineering• Science driven development of cultural artifacts

The Sound of Trees Growing
• David Dunn (composer, sound artist)
• Jim Crutchfield ( complexity scientist)
• Artist driven recording of sounds of trees growing led to research project in the coupling of ultrasound from trees, beetles, forest fire system dynamics
