Case studies: seminars, symposia and panel discussions
Literature studies (chapter 2) and practice (3.1.) illustrate the lack of communication and knowledge exchange among the disciplines, particularly among the disciplines involved in interdisciplinary collaboration. Working in an interdisciplinary field brings along a complexity of theory and practice with which to familiarise oneself. The amount and diversity of information often prevents one from studying other knowledge domains. The observed ignorance (Wilson 2.2.1.) makes it even more relevant to encourage dialogue. This was the main motivation to organise a series of seminars, symposia and panel discussions where representatives from different knowledge domains engage in moderated discussion and publications for a mixed audience. In the context of this research, the seminars, symposia and panel discussion served merely as a reality check for the proposed methods for the research and development of electronic art , especially in terms of the match between method or approach and aim or objective.
