Art and technology II. A call for collaboration

As decribed in Part I, the collaboration of art and engineering in the creation of new art works has become a serious preoccupation of many modern artists, who are asking for the help of engineers. A number of organizations now exist whose aim is to facilitate the contact between artists and engineers and to help support them in their collaborative projects. You need not be a Renaissance Man, it is said, to apply for a match with an artist. It won´t be all fun and games, although part of it will be, and you might even end up doing something so useless from an engineering point of view, and so right from another point of view, that you could begin wondering why engineering is practiced the way it is¿i.e., you might get turned on. This article tells you a bit about what it was like for some others who have already tried, and calls on you to join the action.
