Science. Human. Art. - About one thing missing in the field of knowledge transfer
The communication of science succeeds when people can be motivated to see themselves as active co-creators of their own environment and new knowledge is generated. Various (citizen-) science approaches are helpful methods to educate, collect data or to involve citizens in decision-making processes. However, those examples of knowledge transfer, as open as they wish like to be, mainly reach academic audiences or partners from the business world who already have a scientific or at least economic interest. So the question is: which places and contents could lead to a broader knowledge transfer and discursive exchange within science and society?
If you ask me: it is the component of the art that is missing within transformative processes. Now you will ask: what is art capable in times of global challenges? Would the art world be ready to participate in the transfer of knowledge? What about art universities? What about the structures?
