Investigating collaboration in art and technology

Abstract

In order to understand how collaboration between people from different disciplines takes place, research is being undertaken in the area of art and technology. The present paper describes three studies of collaboration between artists and technologists drawn from the COSTART (COmputer SupporT for ARTists) project, an artist-in-residency programme that provided a platform for studying the creative process. The paper describes how case studies were carried out and, in particular, how the data analysis was conducted using a coding framework developed specifically for this art-technology context and what the preliminary findings that have emerged were.
