Exploring Transdisciplinarity in Art and Sciences

Abstract

The authors are describing their work on the “POST OIL UTOPIA” project devoted to the global oil depletion. Some countries, such as Kuwait which is one of the most striking examples of a mono-economy state, could suffer from this crisis heavily in the future. For their artistic project, the authors teamed up with French scientists who work on the revolutionary replacement of petrol-based products with the more environmentally friendly bioderived products. As a result in collaboration with them as well as with Interactive Performance Laboratory, the performance, presented at the Garage Contemporary Art Museum in Moscow, had been created.
