Art and science : thinking outside the box

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

To mark the 80th anniversary of its founding, the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (AMU) invites to an international and interdisciplinary conference titled Art and Science: Thinking Outside the Box, held on November 18–20, 2025. This conference builds upon the questions raised at AMU’s 60th anniversary conference, Where Does Art End and Science Begin – And Vice Versa? held in 2005. Part of the event is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Jaroslav Vostrý (1931–2025), playwright, art theorist, pedagogue, and former rector of AMU, who played a key role in opening the university to this line of research and to the dialogue between the arts and the sciences. The conference will explore mutual resonances, tensions, and intersections between the arts, with a particular focus on audiovisual arts, photography, music, dance, and performance disciplines, sciences and humanities. Central to the event is the idea that both art and science conduct research and both participate in the generation of epistémé, albeit through different methods, forms of thinking, and means of expression. Each employs its own epistemological framework and its own way of articulating questions and engaging with the world. While science privileges logic, empiricism, and analytical frameworks, art engages embodied perception, intuition, and affective or imaginative experience. Yet both are deeply intellectual endeavors, offering different pathways to understanding the world and the human condition. The event aims to foster open and productive dialogue between communities that may share a common interest in inquiry, yet often “speak different languages”. By coming together in a shared space, we hope to not only compare methods and outcomes, but to explore what it means to think – creatively, critically, and rigorously – across boundaries and outside the box. One of the keynote lectures will be delivered by internationally acclaimed theatre director Thomas Ostermeier, who will speak on the topic Theatre and Sociology. The conference will culminate in a ceremonial conferral of an honorary doctorate of AMU to Thomas Ostermeier on November 20, 2025.
