Re: [Yasmin_discussions] key processes to enable Enabling new forms of collaboration among sciences, engineering, arts, and design

Dear Bronac,

Your point is extremely important in our goal and outcomes-focused culture. It should be central to the discussion.

Dear Roger

Whilst this is a thorough and one level convincing list, it feels rather
laden with functional outputs and may be in danger of eliding what often
drives the most transformational SEAD/STEAM endeavours -
i.e. doing something together because of

a shared spirit of enquiry and shared joy of discovery in spaces where
the frontiers and parameters are not yet defined

so what is missing are 'fascinating development challenges appealing to
artists and scientists alike'

this may be something like co-development of a new material
or working together on enriching language and conceptual understanding
in frontier zones such as nano-science where purpose and function will
follow imaginative leaps

We want to explore these challenges together not because they are
purposeful but because we don't yet know what may result....like not
being able to see across the mountain there is a desire to explore
frontiers for curiosity sake which is fine in itself...
Can something be added that reflects this spirit of enquiry... that can
lead to creative leaps ....as in science Franklin and lightning
experiments.....dangerous but creating significant sparks...?
