Abstract
Although many artists and designers choose to work independently, those who also work with the academy often share ideas about future artworks or designs, and also local and national grant funding opportunities. Collaboration and team working may enable larger and more complex projects to be undertaken. Artists have been able to contribute to new kinds of projects within the artistic world, and also work with scientists to stimulate creativity and produce new knowledge. Such a Renaissance team could include expertise on the use of color, visual paradigms, and metaphors. Interdisciplinary collaborations can have significant potential but can be difficult to implement and manage. However, new knowledge and new disciplines can arise at the boundary between existing disciplines. Thus, the potential for a major breakthrough is significant. The challenges for interdisciplinary collaborations are discussed. The use of digital tools can have a positive impact on the arts and cultural organizations. They can also be used to support and facilitate collaborations—both online and off-line.
