Art-Science Undisciplined: A Playbook for Transformative Collaboration
Artist Janani Balasubramanian and astrophysicist Natalie Gosnell reimagine collaboration through a values-based and joyfully undisciplined practice.
Art-Science Undisciplined, published by the University of California Press, is an invitation to rethink what collaboration can be. Rather than treating art and science as separate disciplines that occasionally exchange ideas, artist Janani Balasubramanian and astrophysicist Natalie Gosnell imagine collaboration as a shared practice of curiosity, experimentation, and transformation. Drawing from their own partnership and the experiences of other interdisciplinary creators, they offer a guide for building relationships rooted in mutual respect, imagination, and joy.
Attentive to the realities of institutional demands, limited resources, and busy schedules, Art-Science Undisciplined offers strategies for sustaining meaningful collaboration in everyday practice. Readers will find guidance on establishing shared values, communicating across disciplines, balancing different ways of knowing, and creating conditions for trust and experimentation.
At its heart, Art-Science Undisciplined is a call to imagine more expansive futures for creative and scientific practice alike.
