Founded in 1988,
Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI) was one of the
first art-sci-tech member organizations in the USA. Established
primarily as a network for artists who either use or are inspired by
science and technology, ASCI has become a magnet for some of the best
examples of this type of contemporary art and for scientists and
technologists wishing to collaborate. ASCI was instrumental in
reinvigorating the art-sci-tech movement in the United States during
the mid-1990's and helped coalesce the art-science movement
[1998-2002]. It produced seminal public panels and symposia on timely
topics: from the world's first "CyberFair for Artists"(1995) to "Bell
Labs & the Origins of Multimedia Art" (1998), "Collectibility of
the Digital Print" (1998), and explored potential support systems
for early netart at "CyberArt'99." ASCI also produced exhibitions of
kinetic art, interactive light art, solar art, digital prints, and a
Womentek exhibition. Since 1998, it has produced four ArtSci
international symposia on collaboration and the ArtSci INDEX, an online
matching tool for potential collaborators. The monthly ASCI eBulletin
[sent to ASCI members] is the most comprehensive resource tool in this
highly interdisciplinary, international field. ASCI welcomes
partnerships and dialogue with the scientific community.
