Hinweise: We are seeing an intensifying international discussion on how to create new connections between the cultures of Art/Design/Humanities with the cultures of Science, Engineering and Mathematics. This discussion builds on the 50 year old discussion on the two cultures triggered by C.P. Snow. The situation has changed dramatically since that time. There is a new generation of artists, designers and humanities scholars who are scientifically and technically literate. Many of them were born digital. A number of issues are shared by the “Arts” and “Sciences”. The advent of big data offers similar challenges in many fields, but also opportunities to develop new research agendas and methodologies; for instance we will look at how the science of complex networks offered shared tools for both the digital humanities and sciences. Yet, there are both problems in terms of research and creative practices and institutional roadblocks. In this class we will examine the emerging role of new ‘translators’ equally at home in the arts and humanities and in science and engineering. We will discuss the STEM to STEAM movement which seeks to integrate arts and humanities into science, technology, engineering and mathematics education. We will examine a number of institutional contexts which are establishing methods and platforms to enable creative translation between the arts and sciences.
