Knowledge, Performance, Conservation : How Art and Science Embrace Technology
P. 139-154
- In the twenty-first century the field of study of art and science has come to age. This field shows a continued engagement with the discipline of art history, even deepened by the renewed exchange with Bildwissenschaft. However, there is limited attention to technology. On the other hand, technology is central to the field of art, science, and technology studies. Yet, this new field is characterized by a growing distance to art history. Are we then witnessing the historical moment of a divide in the field of art and science? In this brief review essay, I argue that in just the past few years several research areas are characterized by intense dialogue of historians of science with art history as well as close attention to techne.
- Moreover, partly driven by performative methods, recent scholarship connects histories of materials and techniques to histories of the environment. Here conservation emerges as a key category, and conservation history as the next frontier of the field. [Publisher's text]
