> 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 Life Sciences, Physics, Computing and Engineering 
> sciences. An enclosed comprehensive DVD documents the results, the 
> problems and serves as a guideline for the future of true Art/Sci 
> experiments.
