Interdisciplinary dialogues: Combining science and art in contemporary cultural production

The aim of the study was to examine the collaboration between artists and scientists. The research methodology involved an interdisciplinary approach, which allowed for a detailed analysis of the processes occurring at the intersection of scientific and artistic practices and the identification of new forms of cultural production. The main results emphasised the importance of interaction between scientists and artists for the creation of new forms of selfexpression. It was found that science and art are closely related spheres of human activity. Historically, for example, music was long regarded as a mathematical science; thus, the division between art and science is rather blurred. The study found that interdisciplinary collaboration between scientists and artists contributes to the emergence of innovative forms of cultural expression that go beyond traditional models of both science and art. An analysis of specific projects, namely “Arts at CERN” and “Beyond Quantum Music”, showed that such projects often stimulate new approaches to solving socially important problems, stimulate interest in scientific topics among a wider audience, and create a platform for creative experimentation. It was found that the key factors for the success of such projects are open dialogue between participants, mutual enrichment of knowledge, and a willingness to experiment. Therefore, interdisciplinary dialogues have significant potential for strengthening cultural capital and developing creative industries, especially in the context of the contemporary challenges of globalisation and digitalisation. The results of the study provided new perspectives for understanding contemporary cultural processes, emphasising the importance of dialogue between different fields of knowledge for the development of innovation in cultural production
