| Summary: | Neuston, defines the community of organisms that live associated with the surface, at the air-water interface. With neuston as metaphor, the project proposes an explorative experiment on the science-art interface in marine sciences. Intended as transdisciplinary experiment, the Neuston project establishes 15 collaborative partnerships between scientists from the Institute of Marine Research in Vigo – Spanish National Research Council, on the one hand, and writers, poets, and artists on the other. Starting from a scientific publication, each researcher exposes a specific aspect of his or her work to the artist; this initiates a dialogue, which involves visits of artists to laboratories and scientists to study the artists. This dialogue forms a background to the art (painting, sculpture, photography, installation) or literature (poetry, story, comics) work. The resulting artistic proposals raised a reflection on i) the forms of representation and language, ii) the object of study and its formal or conceptual relationship with other objects, iii) the context in other levels (social or intimate) of the research work, or its decontextualization, and iv) scientists, practice and knowledge processes of science face to artists and processes of art. All this implies, finally, an approach to a more complex knowledge of the subject of study and the subject-researcher, which includes aesthetic experience. |
