An Introduction to Considerations on Relationships between Arts, Science, and Technology SUMMARYThe text discusses relations between art and science with technology, which, the author believes, are one of the major consequences of problematization of the boundaries of art. This process, begun already in the nineteenth century, gained momentum owing to the development of avant-garde trends, having ultimately upset the identity of art. The institutional conception of art became a method of work in the Post-Identity art. Another response to this situation was the development of interaction between art and science, based on technological foundations, and the consequent emergence of the hybrid, transdisciplinary vision of art. The author presents and analyzes his proposed typology of artistic trends focused on cognitive activity, emerging from the dialogue with science. He focuses in particular on the third of the foregoing trends: art@science, which he regards as the most signifi cant for the recent manifestations of the analyzed phenomenon. At the same time he emphasized the specifi city and dissimilarity of contemporary relationships between art and science as compared with its earlier, historical manifestations.
