Abstract
<p>This chapter offers a typology to discover and explore various forms of interaction between artand science. It shows how these interactions operate across three stages of the research cycle: 1)inquiry (the science of art / the art of science), 2) methodology (arts-based research methods /scientific methods to study art), and 3) communication (art communication / communicationthrough art), illustrated through examples.Across these levels, the chapter emphasizes art as an epistemic contribution rather than aninstrument. Artistic practices introduce ways of perceiving, understanding, questioning, andcritiquing that scientific research alone cannot generate. Art can foster new forms of engagementwith scientific content, act as a catalyst for conceptual thinking, and support the translation andcommunication of complex ideas. Furthermore, artistic approaches can help open scientific inquiryto greater epistemic diversity and intercultural perspectives that remain underrepresented inpredominantly Eurocentric research traditions.At the same time, science can inspire new artistic forms, inform artistic translation, and openconceptual space within artistic practice. In this sense, art and science are understood as distinctyet mutually enriching ways of knowing that together generate, translate, and communicateknowledge in new ways, creating opportunities for epistemic innovation at their intersection.The typology provides a framework through which scholars, professionals, and artists can reflecton how art and science intersect and how these intersections contribute to scientific research,artistic practice, and more inclusive and diverse knowledge cultures.</p>
