DISONANCIAS is a programme that brings R&D&i units from companies or research centres in the Basque Country into contact with international artists for the joint investigation of products, services, materials o procedures, and to give expression to this research in the form of prototypes that respond to the needs of society and anticipate the transformations it will undergo. This catalogue offers a picture of the overall development of the 2006/07 edition, including the 10 projects of collaboration that took place between companies and research centres from a wide diversity of fields, and visual artists from more than 10 countries. In addition, it comes with a DVD of a documentary made by one of the artists (Itxaso Díaz), which covers all of the research undertakings, via interviews with the artists and the representatives from the participant bodies who were responsible for research, innovation or development. You can download the catalogue here, as well as the 15 min. documentary with english subtitles.

This book verifies the need for the arts and the sciences to work together in order to develop more creative and conceptual approaches to innovation and presentation. By blending ethnographical case studies, scientific viewpoints and critical essays, the focus of this research inquiry is the lab context. For scientists, the lab context is one of the most important educational experiences. For contemporary artists, laboratories are inspiring spaces to investigate, share know-how transfer and search for new collaboration potentials. The nine labs represented in this book are from the natural, computing and engineering sciences. An enclosed DVD documents the results. http://www.artistsinlabs....ish/publications.htm

In the creation of electronic and digital art, a research and development phase is almost always necessary. This research is notably interdisciplinary, linking visual and sound artists with engineers, programmers and designers as well as with scientists from diverse fields. aRt&D lays open this new, investigative field of art, by looking at a number of characteristic and thought-provoking projects. At the same time, it develops a theretical frame-work for situating and evaluating this new artistic practice. http://publishing.v2.nl

PARC's Artist-in-Residence Program (PAIR) brings artists who use new media to PARC (Palo Alto Research Center) and pairs them with researchers who often use the same media, though in different contexts. Art and Innovation explores the process that grew from this pairing of new media artists and scientists working at the frontier of developing technologies. http://leonardo.info/isas...s_artinnovation.html
