That Drunken Conversation between Two Cultures: Art, Science and the Possibility of Meaningful Uncertainty

Abstract

If we accept that art and science have in fact become very distinct cultures, then it is not surprising that their basic concepts and language should suffer from fissures over the four hundred years they’ve had to diverge and specialize. Some see this as a rich opportunity for building disciplinary bridges in hopes of forging new forms of hybridity, while others see it as the surest sign that the two are best left to their own devices. But the reason the conversation between art and science is so difficult may have to do with assumptions that presuppose the structure of the conversation itself.
