ART AS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY AND PARTICIPATORY PROCESS

Diplomsko delo se ukvarja s sodobnimi umetniškimi praksami, ki se kažejo v povezovanju umetnosti z znanostjo in tehnologijo. Poudarek je na spajanju umetnosti z znanostjo z uporabo novih tehnologij. S pomočjo novih tehnologij, znanstvenih odkritij, metod in orodij se vse bolj zabrisuje ločnica med umetnostjo in njenimi družbenimi okoliščinami. Od pregleda umetniških strategij v svetu tehnoznanstvenega raziskovanja se v osrednjem delu usmerjamo v posameznika kot aktivnega sodelujočega in soustvarjalca ustvarjalnega procesa. V raziskavi se osredotočamo na participativni umetniški projekt Biomodd, kjer poskušamo ugotoviti, ali so prav soustvarjalci (avtorji) umetniškega projekta ključen in najbolj reprezentativen element umetniške instalacije, ki povezuje tehnologijo in biologijo, in ali je potemtakem umetnost participacije lahko obravnavana kot ena izmed disciplin, ki je vseskozi odprta za vsakogarza dialog z umetniškim delom in za dialog med ustvarjalci, ki so v procesu fizično prisotni. Ugotavljamo, da participativne prakse ne spreminjajo samo posameznikove vloge iz pasivne v aktivno, kot je to počela umetnost šestdesetih let ali interaktivna umetnost, temveč skušajo posamezika integrirati v proces umetniškega dela, da ta skozi realno izkušnjo postane aktiven in odgovoren (so)ustvarjalec le-tega.Our thesis discusses current art practices that are evident in the interplay of art with science and technology. Emphasis is on the fusion of art with science through the use of new technologies. With the help of the latter together with scientific discoveries, new methods and tools, the separation between art and its social environment is becoming less obvious. From the review of art strategies in the world of techno-science research we then focus on the role of the individual as an active participant and co-creator. In our research we focus on the participatory art project Biomodd where we discuss if the co-creators (authors) of the art project themselves could prove as the key and the most representative element in the art installation that connects technology with biology. Hence, could we interpret participatory art as on of the disciplines constantly open to anyoneopen for dialog with the art work and for dialog among co-creators physically present in the process? We conclude that the participatory practice not only change the role of an individual from passive to active, as common for the art in the sixties or interactive art, but try and integrate the individual in the art process itself. Through this real experience he is actively engaged, a responsible co-creator of the art process
