Popular media, art and science are intricately interlinked in contemporary visual culture. This book analyses the ›scientific imaginary‹ that is the result of the profound effects of science upon the imagination, and conversely, of the imagination in and upon science. As scientific developments in genetics, information technology and cybernetics open up new possibilities of intervention in human lives, cultural theorists have explored the notion of the ›posthuman‹. The Scientific Imaginary in Visual Culture analyses figurations of the ›posthuman‹ in history and philosophy, as well as in its utopian and dystopian forms in art and popular culture. The authors thus address the blurring boundaries between art and science in diverse media like science fiction film, futurist art, video art and the new phenomenon of ›bio-art‹. In their evaluations of the scientific imaginary in visual culture, the authors engage critically with current scientific and technological concerns.

À l’heure ou ressurgit sur la scène académique l’incertain mariage de l’art et de la science, cet opus des Essentiels d’Hermès souligne le rôle qu’ont pu jouer dans ce contexte l’image et la communication. Il offre une mise en perspective des interrogations qui ont accompagné ou contraint ce désir, en pointant les enjeux autant que les dilemmes des tentatives récurrentes d’union ou d’association de l’art et de la science. Le domaine de l’image constitue une voie d’entrée privilégiée pour aborder cette histoire : le double caractère expérimental et tangible de l’image, ses dimensions visuelles et techniques, esthétiques et physiques, l’ont en effet inscrite simultanément dans l’histoire de l’art et de la science. De nos jours, les figures, les modes de production et les usages des images ne cessent d’osciller entre le désir de vérité et le besoin d’illusion. L’évolution des opérations d’exposition, de monstration mais aussi de démonstration ou de conservation, ont constitué le creuset de nouveaux questionnements, fondateurs pour les sciences de l’information et de la communication. Ces apports historiques, indispensables, que la revue Hermès nous offre aujourd’hui de revisiter, sont ici articulés à des contributions inédites qui éclairent d’une façon originale nos débats contemporains sur le devenir des arts et des sciences en partage.

This title is the result of a one-week workshop sponsored by the Swedish research agency, FRN, on the interface between complexity and art. Among others, it includes discussions on whether ""good"" art is ""complex"" art, how artists see the term ""complex"", and what poets try to convey in word about complex behavior in nature.
