<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">CFP: Thinking in the Art-Science Nexus</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">---------------------------------------------------</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"> The arts and the sciences have a complex history of both conflict and entanglement; while disciplinary fiefdoms and the strictures of grant funding bodies have often sought their separation, the immensely fruitful exchange
currently happening in the space where art meets science suggests other possibilities. The art-science nexus has been revitalised by new thinking in neurobiology, biotechnology as well as quantum physics, sweeping away mechanistic ideas of isolated subject-object
encounters, and replacing them with force fields, immanence, affect and becoming. New methodologies and ways of knowing emerge as scientific objects and processes inform, and are informed by, aesthetic and cultural realms. This issue of Transformations seeks
submissions that address this growing interest in the art-science nexus and the new knowledges and forms that arise from this connection.</font></div>
