Abstract:
This paper examines the resurgence of interdisciplinary research that bridges art and science. It underscores the ways computational advancements and the pressing demands posed by climate change are driving the revival. It traces the movement’s occidental origins from ‘natural philosophy’ in pre-Renaissance Europe, through the Modernist era of strict disciplinary divisions, to the present-day dissolution of boundaries.
Advancing frameworks of co-creation, this paper culminates in a reinforcement of the importance of pluralistic perspectives in research through the participation of diverse publics. It concludes by stressing the importance of fostering environments where a range of perspectives and research methodologies can mingle and thrive, acknowledging the potential of these efforts in addressing the complex global challenges presented by climate change.
