Isi artikel

This article considers the Media Art Exhibition held at the University of Tokyo’s Hongo Campus as part of the conference ‘Ubiquitous Media: Asian Transformations’ (13–16 July 2007), and reflects on the questions raised by the exhibits concerning the connections between science and art, which are revealed to be mediated through aesthetic technologies. Exhibits that emphasize tactility and revel in synaesthetic effects demonstrate a peculiar and historically determinate complicity between scientific and aesthetic discourses. The exhibits are also analysed for what they reveal about the relationship between art and science as it functions in the public sphere. If discourses of science privilege certain conceptions of knowledge, and values of teaching and learning based upon them, then the exhibition of art tends to be adapted in gallery spaces to these values.
