Transdisciplinary
art today
“Inframince”, a term coined by Marcel Duchamp, refers to ephemeral, ultra-thin,
and undecidable phenomena – such as the warmth that remains on a chair after a person gets up. In this book, “inframince”
is taken to signify forms of transdisciplinarity in contemporary art.
Authors and visual artists
capture in text and image fleeting moments in which artistic, theoretical, scientific, or everyday cultural elements meet,
change, or merge with one another.
Numerous examples of artistic and teaching practice within the
discipline of TransArts at the University of Applied Arts Vienna vividly reveal how these manifold transgressions can be rendered
productive.
- A review of the state of contemporary transdisciplinary art, featuring current artistic
